Firefighting Course

I took this photo today. I'm unhappy it probably isn't going to run in color. And the front of the B section has a more newsworthy, but boring photo of a vehicle rollover.
Caption:
Lieutenant Scott Higgins instructs fire fighters in during a pump truck class at the Central Maine Fire Attack School held at Winslow High School this weekend. Approximately 200 fire fighters from around Maine attended the course that is held twice a year in Winslow.

On the Boards

The best thing about this photo is the Jordan logo on that kid's shirt.
Caption:
Winslow High School students go for a rebound while playing a game of Twenty-one at the basketball court on Dellaire Street in Winslow, Friday. The next few days should be a brisk, with a chance of snow Tuesday night.

Great Catch

They need about 80 more lights to brighten up their field. I shot this at Hi-1, the digital equivalent of film speed iso 3200.
Caption:
Lawrence High School's Matt Perkins (7) catches a pass to help his team score first against Skowhegan Area High School on Friday night at Reginald P. Clark Memorial Field in Skowhegan. Lawrence went on to beat Skowhegan 35-6.

This is Not a Sign

I went to take a picture of someone's illegal political-performance piece.
Caption:
Kenneth Green of Lincoln Street tells investigating Officer Tim Hinton what information he knows surrounding the theft of his "Obama for President" sign that was cut from its rope where the gentlemen are standing. Green paid $200 for the sign that was stolen from his front yard late Tuesday night. Officer Hinton said its theft was a Class E misdemeanor.

Acadia National Park Leaf Peeping

I drove to Acadia National Park's Cadillac Mountain.


People were there to "leaf peep."


They even came on ships from far away to peep the leaves.

Yesterday's News

I took this picture of Todd Palin a couple days ago. The Maine Snowmobile Association has endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket.

Driving to Celebrate the Lowering Price of Gas

This is a gas station on Route 137 between Waterville and Belfast, Maine.

The Turkey Farm

I went to shoot some foliage in Franklin County, Maine. I couldn't resist stopping by The Turkey Farm to shoot some fowlage also. (FYI: turkeys smell slightly better than chickens.)
Caption:
A bunch of turkeys are being fattened up at The Turkey Farm at 209 Mile Hill Road in New Sharon on Friday afternoon. The farm has pre-sold 44 percent of the tender birdies so far. To place orders or for more information go to theturkeyfarm.com or call 777-2889.

Football Brothers

I went to take this photo of brothers who start on the same High School football team.
Caption:
Kyle and Cam Bishop both start for Waterville Senior High School's varsity football team. Cam, a reciever, catches passes from his brother Kyle, the team's quarterback.


The rest of the team was behind me harassing the brothers while I was taking the photo.

Went to Acadia National Park

Went to Acadia and climbed the Beehive Trail, which goes up the peak in the background.
