FDNY vs. NYPD Rugby Match (H4W)...

... shots from the annual FDNY vs. NYPD Rugby match on Randall's Island outside NYC on 25 Jun 11 in honor of two military service members who died in Iraq.  The money from the event went to the FDNY VFW who donated two cycles to Hope For The Warriors!  

The awarding of the two bikes to H4W was filmed as part of an upcoming episode of Extreme Home Makeover pertaining to wounded veterans.

The Great Smoky Mountains...

... I went to Clingmans Dome so you don't have to.

This is the highest point in Tennessee, located in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, just outside Gatlinburg, TN.

LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph...

... the best photography festival in the world.  The second time I attended and... it was magical.  I found a lot of inspiration in the Masters Talks and Insight Conversations this year but I missed the one by George Steinmetz.  The finale show rocked and I discovered the Charlottesville Photography Initiative... which was a hidden find.

Love, peace and photography.
