Soccer celebration

The World Series is over, and of course the best team won. But in high school sports, the fall championship season still has a few weeks left.

Last Saturday I photographed the Section 1 Class AA boys' soccer championship game between Horace Greeley and Arlington. Both teams brought plenty of fans to the game, which was played at Arlington High School.

The game was tied until Arlington's Rob Steven's scored in the second overtime period and set off a wild celebration. Take a look at the emotion in the photos.

More hang gliders above Ellenville, N.Y.

I figured a good way to get back to blogging would be to start where I left off, with hang gliding photographs. Only this time the background has gone from green trees to browns and yellows.



I shot theses photos on a weekend, and there were at least 20 people watching the hang gliders and paragliders from the parking areas on Route 52 above Ellenville. I was hoping to shoot down on some of the gliders when there were landing, but most of them continued soaring high above me the entire time I was there.

Since I already had tight shots of hang gliders, I tried to get groups or hang gliders with something else in the frame, like a glider or a bird.


Here's a slideshow of some of the photos:
