Living on a Raft

I spent a couple of hours this morning with 5 members of a church who are living on a raft for 72 hours to raise money for their town's sister village in Malawi, Africa. While I was driven out to the raft on a boat (along with their breakfast), my favorite photo came from shore, just before we set sail. The boy in the photo will be bringing the church members their breakfast...

Graduation Bubbly

Another day, another graduation... Always looking for something a little different, a little out of the ordinary...



Graduation Season

High school graduations are in full swing, and I've shot four in two days, with another one coming up tomorrow. Can't say I mind, though... Especially when Mother Nature helps out like this...

Vigil


This is from a candlelight vigil in Red Bank for the return of Sean Goldman. Today is the fifth anniversary of the day he was taken to Brazil by his mother. The two never came back. She later remarried and then died during childbirth, but Sean, now 9yo, is being kept by his step-father. Sean's biological father, David, who lives in Tinton Falls, has been steeped in international legal battles to bring Sean home and has met resistance every step of the way. The story has recently been gaining some national and even international recognition...
I've done a number of shoots for my paper on this subject, mostly just portraits of David, but I shot this on my own since I thought it was important to shoot even though it didn't fall into my work schedule.
