Here's something you don't see very often: people standing closer than 6 feet apart. But back in 2012, that's exactly what you did when you interviewed a band at the Orion festival in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to shoot these guys playing their set, but I did manage to capture the post-rock interview conducted by photojournalist Josh Pelta-Heller. Super friendly and accommodating, it was a pleasure to document and listen in on.

It's a beautiful place, with amazing mountains and hiking, boating and swimming.  Just don't go to this 35 mile long lake expecting to catch any fish.

While I didn't have tickets to actually attend the event this year, I did decide to hang around out front to capture some of the shenanigans, of which there were plenty to be found.

This was the final training session at RABJJ Robbinsville for Frankie Edgar before his victory at The Ultimate Fighter Finale in July. Lending their expertise was Ricardo Almeida, Mark Henry, Maximilian Bohanan, and Anderson Franca.

I had never seen a chipmunk so up close and personal in my life.  But even more impressive than that, is the fact that the local fauna will land on an upraised hand, laden with seeds and feed.  It was quite an experience, to say the least.

Maximilian Bohanan at Ring of Combat, in Atlantic City, NJ, winning is professional MMA debut! Well done and congratulations to Max and the whole RABJJ family who helped make this happen.

I'm a huge fan of old, abandoned, forgotten places.  These fossilized trains are just such places, where the bugs and plant life are the only passengers remaining.

I had the opportunity to shoot the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field.  I was fortunate enough to have on-field access during batting practice, so I was able to get some interesting snaps.

Took a nice trip to a couple wildlife refuges down in south Jersey. Managed to see or photograph 35 different bird species that day. Saw my first (and only) official Baltimore Oriole here. I won't post any pics of the thing though because they're simply not post-worthy. Instead, I'll hang up these egrets and ibis' and one very black snake...
