Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camp







Assignment:  Photograph kids with cancer. Time per child: approximately 5 minutes. The Challenge:  Capture their spirit, not their suffering.   Last Saturday, I had the opportunity to photograph children suffering from cancer. Eight photographers from around the state were asked to volunteer their talents to photograph children with cancer at Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Camp in Ashford, Conn. and to provide images to their parents. It was a wonderful experience; here's some of the kids.

Bob Dylan On Tour



Bob Dylan was in good form at the New Britain Stadium last Wednesday. Dylan is on tour with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. It used to be he was adamant about people not photographing him, but with the availability of cellphone cameras and the little point and shoot I have, it's impossible to stop. Still, would have liked to have had my Canon D5 with a 300mm instead.
