Heidi & Tom -- The Wedding

You probably recall the rather impromptu wedding we hosted at Children's Hospital on February 28. Put together in just a few days by the dedicated patient care staff, chaplains, and child life services, we were able to give Heidi and Tom the wedding they had probably never dreamed of. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture a few images...
















Heidi had promised to play nice with the cake, but clearly Tom had other ideas.

Bringing grilling season in with style

Man, things have been busy around here lately -- and not with photography stuff, unfortunately. But I finally had a nice day off today to rest and recoup. And, most importantly, to break out the grill. And, really, what kind of photographer would I be if I didn't snap off a few frames before chowing down? For the thirsty, that's Bluegrass Brewing Company's Jefferson Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout (found at the Western Hills Bigg's) in the background. And if you're hungry, that's an 8oz. filet, baked potato, fresh-baked beer bread, and grilled asparagus. All purchased at your local Trader Joe's.

So stay tuned, photophiles. I've got a few surprises coming up, not to mention it's almost time for regular season baseball, and that means a ton of Reds!

Just another day in paradise

This is not today. In fact, here in sunny Goodyear, Arizona, it's actually raining. And it's going to be doing it all day. Our game against the Brewers was canceled, so that'll pretty much conclude my Spring Training coverage. It's been a great trip, and a wonderful experience. Now, if any of you could do something to make it just a little warmer for my return to Cincinnati tomorrow, I'd really appreciate it.

Every little boy's dream

Man, 16-year-old me would be peeing his pants right now. In Arizona for Spring Training. With a press pass. On the field. My two favorite teams playing each other in the first game of the preseason. Did I mention the press pass, and basically hanging out in the dugouts and wandering the field and stands at will?

The Indians came away with the victory, 9-2. Mike Lincoln (below) gave up four runs in his 1 1/3 innings of work. Check out my gallery on CNati.com and be sure to read what Trent has to say!
