Hard to believe that the Andrew Brackman project has come to an end. About two weeks ago I had the pleasure to have dinner with Andrew and his family. It was bitter-sweet because I knew it marked the end of the project. But it was good to see them and …
Congrats to Drew who was drafted in the first round by the NY Yankees in this year’s MLB draft. Check out gopack.com for more information. I sent him an text message (really instant message on AIM) to congratulate him. I stopped short of calling him a “Damn Yankee”. He is …
Today was less about the “Brackman project” and more about the “baseball project”. That is, I focused most of my energies on the entire team. I probably took only about 12 pictures of Andrew. Although it is never possible to have “enough pictures”, I have enough of Brack now that …
On Friday, I sent Andrew Brackman an instant message; he was pitching the next day on Saturday against UNC-Chapel Hill and I wanted to see if it was okay for me to get with him beforehand at his place and take some photos of him preparing for the game. We …
Game one of NC State baseball vs. VA Tech was rained out. The team will have a double header on Saturday. So Brackman and Surkamp start on Saturday; Stallings on Sunday. I was hoping Sunday would be the double header as I need to get some photos of Surkamp. The …

Between the team traveling and my schedule being tight, I haven’t had a chance to get out to Doak since they played Gardner Webb on Feb 17th. Hopefully the photo project will get back into gear again as they have a home stance against Maryland this weekend. If I have …
I’m a sucker for good sports photography books. This includes both action and non-action work.
