Feelin’ Crabby
Filed under Uncategorized by corey
I just returned home to soggy NH from wonderful 85+ degree VA Beach. This beach crab pretty much sums up my feelings toward the weather today: Crabby.
Best,

Smokey Situation
Filed under Uncategorized by corey
CUTLINE: Nashua and Hudson firefighters investigate a duplex after extinguishing flames at 5 Twin Meadow Drive in Hudson. A fire broke out at around 8:30 p.m. ripping through both floors. No injuries were reported and the cause is still under investigation.
TECH SPECS: f/2.8, ISO 6400, 1/30, 46mm
THOUGHTS: On 1 April I photographed this house that burned from a fire. It wasn’t a huge fire but it kicked up a lot of smoke. The lighting conditions were less than ideal but the spotlight from the side worked to help this frame immensly. It’s always hard to see the occupants looking on to see their home in a tattered shape. My heart goes out to them.

Moises Saman, in Iraq for the New York Times, writes about the changeup in that country. See his photos here. I much prefer black and white images and like what he has to say about shooting B and W. Read on.

Cowboy Mounted Shooters
Filed under Animals, General, Photojournalism by don himsel
Yes, I get to do some cool things in the course of a day as a photojournalist (what a snobby word, eh?). Just this morning it meant visiting New England Country Pie (anyone who knows me knows I think pie should be its own food group, regardless of filling) and recently it included hanging out with the New Hampshire Cowboy Mounted Shooters to work on a video and Sunday magazine piece. Here are some outtakes that didn’t make it onto the page.

I saw this while walking to the hardware store on a recent Saturday.
Looks like a good deal to me

Tree Climber
Filed under Uncategorized by corey
CUTLINE: Seth Moore, 10, of Nashua, climbs a tree to get a better view during the annual SummerFun event Saturday, June 6 at Greeley Park in Nashua. Hundreds came out to enjoy food, entertainment and more in anticipation of summer.
TECH SPECS: f/2.8, 1/500, 25mm, ISO 640
THOUGHTS: This kid climbed up in a tree to get a better view. I have others from this take with other kids climbing all over it but ended up liking this one the best because it was a very poignant moment. Sometimes, I enjoy the soft subtle moments of life, moreso than the literal act of doing. This one to me was about this boy’s being. The commonplace of a child in a tree and how as we grow older and forget this playful independence is sometimes hard to take in.
As for myself, I hope to never grow up.

Break
Filed under Uncategorized by corey
CUTLINE: David DiGregorio, center, a fourth-degree black belt martial artist, breaks eight 3/4-inch boards during a demonstration while Zac Cone-Roddy, left, and Andrew Trexter, all of Nashua, hold cinder blocks in place Saturday, June 6 at Greeley Park in Nashua. Hundreds came out to celebrate the annual SummerFun festival, kicking off summer officially for kids in the Southern New Hampshire region.
TECH SPECS: f/4.0, 1/6400, 43mm, ISO 400
THOUGHTS: This one didn’t make it into the paper although I liked the composition and moment. I’m not the biggest fan of podium shots or staged events but this one displays the concentration and focus to kick pine butt

Summer Fun
Filed under Uncategorized by corey
CUTLINE: Tyler Landers, 12, center left, reacts to being doused with water while his friend Seth Moore, 10, both of Nashua, runs out of the fountain at Greeley Park Saturday, June 6. Dozens came out to stave off the hot weather in the upper 80’s and low 90’s despite a posted “NO SWIMMING” sign.
TECH SPECS: f/2.8, 1/4000, 24mm, ISO 200
THOUGHTS: After photographing the annual SummerFun event at Greeley Park the real action was across the street at the water fountain. A flood of memories from childhood days came back to my rememberance and for a few moments just stood their an sighed. I find it odd when you are a child you want to grow up and vice versa.

I ended up on Hawaii while on assignment the other day.
Hawaii
Well, not really. I was lucky enough to once visit Maui. Fabulous. Actually my camera bag is set on the islands that are part of a large, painted representation of the United States on the playground at the Charlotte Avenue School in Nashua. I was covering their field day earlier this week. It brough back memories of a similar day from my own childhood. Specifically of my friend Mike barfing into a trashcan after completing some sort of running event.
Aaannnnyyyway… More Hawaiian vocabulary for fun. Know any of these words?

Oh, the title of this posting? It means newspaper.
