The title of this post basically sums it up. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, Cassell is home for the Virginia Tech men and women’s basketball teams and is VERY loud.
Since it was the men’s final home game Wednesday against NC State, fellow RT photographer Matt Gentry suggested I make the long, [...]

Although it looks like I’ve been slacking off in the video department lately, I’ve actually been finishing up this 2009 Year In Review video with co-worker Jordan Fifer. All in all, it took a solid month to complete … that’s with December/January vacations added to the equation.

I spent today playing in the snow in the wake of Roanoke’s largest single day snowfall in nearly three years (7 inches). I made a video of sled riders at a local elementary school (creative, I know…), but I was happy with a technique I used in lieu of shaky video.
The embedded Youtube clip [...]
