Thanks to the folks at work, Amanda, Parker and I went to see the local Minor League Baseball team, the Charleston Riverdogs. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

The Charleston RiverDogs are a Minor League Baseball team based in Charleston, South Carolina. They play in the class A South Atlantic League and are an affiliate of the New York Yankees. Their home stadium is at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The majority owner is Marvin Goldklang who also owns a stake in five other minor league baseball teams throughout the country (Fort Myers Miracle, Sioux Falls Pheasants, Hudson Valley Renegades, Brockton Rox, and St. Paul Saints).

Our seats were one row from the backstop on the Visitor’s side. There really isn’t a bad seat in the Joe, but these were exceptionally good seats.

I was amazed how much Parker stayed awake and seemed to be watching the game. There were a few times that loud music or the cracking of the bat even seemed to startle him. He’s two months old, and already a sports fan.

If you get a chance to come to Charleston and catch a Riverdog’s game, it’s a good deal of fun. We even saw local resident Bill Murray in attendance. I got a paparazzi style photo below.

Here are some photos of my family from Easter Sunday in Parkersburg, WV.

What a crew on Easter (pick which one of us needs a tan)

The video below came out of an impromptu photo op when Parker was super awake, and super ready to play. This is my first attempt at a “video” using iMovie. There is music, so make sure you have on your speakers or headphones.

Today it was pretty cloudy, and I got a late start, so I didn’t want to venture too far from home. I shot these at the Charles Pickney National Park on Long Point Road. I didn’t have much sunlight, and I have a bad habit of blowing out the skies when I shoot near dusk. Once I get better, I think this would be a great place to shoot spooky photos.

Here are some of my favorites. If you’d like to see the whole set, visit it at Flickr. You can see all of my pictures by visiting my Flickr site.

I got a new camera for Christmas, and as I was learning about improving my photography skills I ran on a group of photographers who have challenged themselves to take at least one walk per week with the intention of taking pictures. My goal is to do as many of these weeks as possible, post them on my Flickr site, as well as putting the highlights here.

This set was taken down in Battery Park in Charleston, SC. You can see the whole set here.
