Got up Early this Rainy Sunday Morning and drove up to Corning to be at the Finish Line for the 2011 Wineglass Marathon, and to cheer our friends Kristin & Melinda on to the successful completion of their first marathon runs! When Melinda crossed the line, I asked how Kristin could have beaten her….that’s when she gave me the Raspberry!
Also, for those of you who know me….I am NOT a morning person! My motto is that I get to the Studio each day at the “Crack of NOON!” So this was pretty special to be up @ 8:00 A.M. on a Sunday Morning. So, if you need any visual evidence of my early morning incompetence…. please be sure to check out the final image! As I was standing there in the rain, drinking my coffee, I happened to look down & noticed my unique selection of footwear for this morning’s event!! 🙂
And to make it even worse, I’ve got to be up early again tomorrow morning for a 8:30 A.M. Jackals Players Training Camp Headshot Shoot @ First Arena! OMG….UP BEFORE 10:00 TWO DAYS IN A ROW! HAVE THE COFFEE GOING BOYS!!!!
And Kristin, I’m sorry that I couldn’t come up with one for you…..but I wrote a poem for Melinda:
“Our Friend Melinda, she used to live in a Yurt. Today she ran a Marathon, and boy, do her feet Hurt!”

Took my first trip this 2011 Season down to the “Cathedral in the Bronx” Yankee Stadium for the 1:05 Game this Hot Sunday Afternoon. Had Suite Tickets, and upon entering Suite #4 and grabbing some lunch, I was pleasantly surprised to find in my company Four Yankees Old Timers! Guys I grew up watching way back in the ’70’s on B&W TV! Outfielders Roy White & Oscar Gamble, the very first Designated Hitter in Baseball Ron Bloomberg, and Catcher Jim Leyritz! I never bring a flash to a ballgame so the pix aren’t up to my usual standards, but hey they are better than nothing and I have something to go along with each of their autographs! How Cool is that!
Also, wish I brought my close-up micro lens, but also shown in these pix are some shots of Yankees World Series Rings, The Boss George Steinbrenner’s Personal Championship Ring collection, as well some of the beautiful Original Painted & Photographic Art that proudly hangs in the FedEx Suite Level Concourse.

Now that all of the galleries, both Dress Rehearsal & The Posed Studio, are beginning to be uploaded & posted one by one by my Associate Maria Strinni Gill, way out there in Canisteo, NY I wanted to post a couple teasers of the Wednesday June 1, 2011 Dress Rehearsal that I shot at on the main stage at the Clemens Center. Got some neat stuff at the Rehearsals….so go check them out as soon as they are up! Great Dancing Girls & Guys! You all have Soooo much talent!

After very little sleep while shooting the ACS Relay For Life in Horseheads throughout the evening, I took a quick nap then made an afternoon freelancing trek down to Binghamton for the Rochester Catholic Courier to cover the Section 4 – Class C Softball Finals. The Lady Crusaders defeated Tioga by the final score of 2-0..Taylor Drake belted a 2 run homer in the fifth inning for all the runs ND would need, and Sophomore pitching sensation Olivia May struck out 12 on her way to the two hit shutout gem.
