During our trip to Chernobyl, we got a chance to visit this children’s summer camp outside of Pripyat in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Like everything in the Zone, mother nature is taking over. There is something beautiful about this scene, in a sad way.

This summer camp outside of Chernobyl had dozens of these little cabins with fun little murals painted on their sides. We spent a little time walking around exploring what must have been a great time back when it was operational. The camp sits on a hill overlooking the Pripyat River. This was probably a very happy place prior to the nuclear disaster.

I love the shadows in this photo. We were walking around this abandoned children’s camp outside of Chernobyl. It had all these little cabins (maybe 20 of them) with cute murals painted on them. As we were walking back along the path towards our bus, this scene unfolded in front of me…… I had my camera all packed up and had to get it back out to capture this moment. I’m glad I did!!!
Btw….Happy Thanksgiving.

This photo was taken at the Steelers training camp in Latrobe PA a few weeks ago. Charlie was liked when he played in Detroit and loved in Pittsburgh. He's found a home in this area and he'll probably stay in the Pittsburgh area forever. The best part is about Charlie, is that he is a nice person.
I had a great experience today. I was given the opportunity to photograph the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions joint practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe Pennsylvania. I’ll also be shooting their preseason game on Friday night, but capturing images of the practice was cool. It’s a different environment from the games and it was great getting to experience it.
As most people know, I’m a Lions fan. Unfortunately, watching the teams practice against each other today, showed me how much better the Steelers are compared to the Lions. I’d like to say it was the other way around, but…. That’s just not the case. The Steelers looked better in just about every drill. I’ll just have to hope this practice wasn’t an accurate reflection of how the Lions season will play out.
About this photo: As you can guess, it is the great Antonio Brown from today’s practice. It looks like a studio photo with the clean, clear background. But that’s just how it came out with a cloudless sky today. It’s not the typical sports photo, which is why I like it. What do you think? Do you like or dislike it?
