More Black Towers Portraits

05.05.10 - A Coruña, Spain - I've been finishing up the portraits from the football story at various practices this past week. Still learning light, but I like the ideas.

Not sure I've mentioned this, but the teams practice in two different places and play in a third, so the fields are quite different. Their "facility" is the dirt field in Santiago and on Tuesday nights the members from A Coruña practice on city soccer fields near the Tower of Hercules.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Running sprints.
I know, I know. Two panning pictures in two weeks. But I've been to three straight wind sprints practices and its starting to feel like Spring Training. Also, this one is better than the one from the other day.

A break at practice in Santiago.

Porto

12.09.09 - Porto, Portugal - Maria and I met Eunice and her friends in Porto for our long weekend at the beginning of December (something about an immaculate conception, I don't know). We spent four days tooling around town and learning about port wine.

Also we went to Foz, just outside of the city with the beach. The waves were pretty impressive and it looked like it would be a great spot in July.

Ahhh, John and Mei and Claudia doing photos.
We got super soaked (hehe) on Saturday walking around Gaia looking for port wine bodegas and then we got on the train. My lens fogged up but it made for a cool shot of Fiona who was sitting across from me.

Doesn't this kind of look like a U2 album cover? Someone call Bono.
Crossing the Effiel Bridge. Doesn't have the same ring.

The grounds around the Palacio do Cristal. The palacio was not grand, but I do like the picture and the peacock.

Block Island

8.26.08 - Block Island, R.I. - On a suggestion from GQ, I went to Block Island with Damon and Sarah on Sunday to find out about the "best gin and tonics in the nation." They were pretty good. Nothing quite replaces drinking a g&t on a wrap-around veranda overlooking the Atlantic Ocean with a salty breeze blowing through your hair. Well you get the idea. Now see the photos.

Thanks,

Will

Uh...me. I believe the statement of the day was, "you're doopy, but somehow it works." And I'm going to go with that.
