Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival

Just wanted to personally thank a few fellow photographers that I had the opportunity to meet and shoot with this past Saturday. I was invited to help photograph the Katie Samson Lacrosse Festival in Wayne, PA. This is a fundraising event with the proceeds being donated to the Katie Samson Foundation which seeks to raise money and awareness for spinal chord injuries. The money goes to continued research. It's always a pleasure to work for a good cause.

The event photography was organized and managed by Mark Tassoni and he, along with his girlfriend did an amazing job. It's always awesome to meet and work with fellow photographers and this event was no exception.

Mark had organized six talented photographers to cover six fields shooting four games each. So my gratitude and thanks go out to Bryen Ford for buying me breakfast and for his recent sponsorhip of my Sports Shooter application, Jonathan Nimerfroh who lent me his spare raincover for my camera and lens although I ended up not needing it, Bryen's often talked about protoge Matt Weir, and Philadelphia Phantoms photographer and hockey fan Bob Fina. All-in-all a great group of people.

Luckily the rain held out and we had perfect shooting weather and the level of play was fantastic. These boys and girls can certainly play lacrosse. Thanks again and I certainly look forward to working with any or all of these individuals again.
