This is a football I saw floating on the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey.
I've been really swamped lately with little time to post, visit, or even get out shotting. I'm not sure when things will settle down.
I have some exciting news about Russell. He will be playing bassoon in the orchestra pit for a rather large production of "Carousel" this summer with the New Jersey Youth Theater. It's a group of talent that range from high school students, college students, and professionals. They do a major theater production every summer on a very rigorous schedule which will include 17 performances. Nine of the performances will be at NJPAC, and the other eight will be at the Algonquin Arts Theater. All performances are in July and August. It is very exciting. If anyone is interested, please visit the links for more info on the performances.
Please visit my other photoblog Capturethisphotography.com
This photo of the Bucknell Quad is a 2 page feature photo in the Summer 2008 issue of Bucknell Magazine.
Your comments are very much appreciated. I know the time and effort it takes to visit and leave comments and although I don't get to reply to them nearly as often as I like, please know that I do really appreciate them. You are what keeps me going. I make every effort to reply to questions but I may miss one or two and I apologize for that. If you really need me to get an answer to you quickly, the best way is to use the contact form on Am3.
As of July 2008 I have decided to post the same photos here as on Capturethisphotography.com but check the archives for photos not posted here.

@Helen: Thanks. I was trying to remember the name of the movie, I thought that was it. Great movie too. I love Tom Hanks he's a true talent.

@Beckie: Thanks.
I've found myself a bit swamped too! Congrats to Russel - sounds like a great opportunity.
I like the B&W for this shot - brings out the patterns in the water and "Wilson" the football :)

@Jason Kravitz: Thanks. I should have changed the title to "Castaway". (I think that was the name of that movie.)
The gray color is really compatible with the name! It seems to be abandoned! Well done!
