In the crowd

A game is not a game if there is not a crowd and nothing draws a crowd like a cross-town rivalry. Westhill fans rose to the occasion as the school hosted Stamford in a boys basketball game, fans of both teams turned out in droves.

Fire dancing at the Candlewood Inn

Life can be stressful for volunteer firemen, always wondering what the next fire call can bring.

But last Friday night, the men and women of Water Witch Hose Co. 2 in New Milford held their annual dinner dance and throwing caution to the wind, let it fly!

Gandhi burns the snow

Gandhi

Gandhi is my standard poodle. He loves to run a lot.  But with snow, it is off the limit.  You can never stop him.

Wrestling with a Single Light

Danbury’s match against Trumbull was my first wrestling match I have covered in a few years. Though, growing up in Iowa I was surrounded by wrestling. Some consider University of Iowa and Iowa State University powerhouse schools for wrestling. Some might call it a religion in the midwest. I covered the state championships in Iowa and photographed it on and off around the country since. But at Danbury I was thrown for a loop when I arrived. The gymnasium I found myself in looked more like a theater. The room was dark except for a lone light in the middle of the gym. I knew right away that this was going to be a challenge to get a publishable image. I knew I had to wait for the wrestlers to maneuver into the light.

Before long, I stopped waiting for the wrestlers to maneuver into the light and I used the light to create a mood and to make abstract photographs that satisified my curiosity with the light.

Stars pay tribute to Ralph MacDonald

Grammy Award-winning percussionist and composer Ralph MacDonald’s rhythms rolled into the Palace Theater as artists flocked to perform a musical tribute Monday evening. Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band, Roberta Flack, Dennis Collins and Bobbi Humphrey joined throngs of percussionists in a private ceremony memorializing MacDonald who died Dec. 18. MacDonald earned multiple Grammys for work including ‘Calypso Breakdown,’ ‘Just The Two of Us’ and ‘Where is The Love.’ Valerie Simpson and her late husband Nick Ashford collaborated with MacDonald on numerous hits including “Solid.” Simpson, above, donning the best shoes to cross the stage all night, performs “Trade Winds” at the Palace.
