Photo Session Date: February 6, 2010

Photo Session Location: Winchester, Virginia

Photo Session Details: Not even two months ago I sat here and posted photographs from a blizzard in which we received 20" of snow. I thought at the time "wow...we won't see snow like that again for quite awhile". Well we did...during the same winter season! The blizzard of 2010 ended today with a snowfall total of 31.5" at my house. We were very lucky not to lose power during the storm. The snow is so high it almost reaches my waist. After shoveling paths around the house all day long, I was about to turn in for the day when the sun came out just in time to set, so naturally I had to grab my camera. Numb fingers and all, I took some photographs hoping to capture the memories of the blizzard of 2010.

A college professor discusses leadership education and style with two of her students.

This series is part of an on-going 26-week project entitled the ABCs of Photography in which I take a few photographs each week centered on on specific letter of the alphabet.

J is for Joharv the Cat - I will start by saying up front that I am not a cat person. Joharv is my wife's cat and he came along with her as part of getting married. However, if I was a cat person, Joharv would certainly be the type of cat I would have. He is a breed of bengal and is one of the absolute most friendliest cats you will ever meet. He even knows how to do a few tricks (sit, up and fetch). The interesting thing about these photographs to me is that they seem to exhibit his "bengal" side...almost tiger-like in a way. He is a beautiful breed of animal...cat fan or not.

Photo Session Location: Winchester, VA

Photo Session Details: Family portraits are on par with weddings as my favorite type of subject matter to photograph. Don't get me wrong...I will photograph anything and everything and love doing it...but there is something special about being around a happy family and capturing their moments together. The Collegeman family was a great example of this. The husband and wife were naturals in front of the camera as I took their pictures and their adorable 4-month-old daughter seemed to enjoy it just as much. Maybe it was my funny looking camera equipment, but the baby gave me more than enough smiles for the pictures
