Dan spent his 18th Birthday performing. He co-hosted his Senior Superlatives at Medway High School tonight. He ended the show with two songs; it was a great event and the kick off to the Senior activities for MHS Class of 2019. Happy Birthday Dan, you spent it where you belong, on stage… and picked up two superlatives of his own, Most Likely to be on Broadway and Most Musical.

I’ve wanted to shoot a series like this for years, last year I reached out to Medway Fire Department to see if they wanted to be involved. Not only did they want to be part of it, but they also invited me up to the station to shoot it. Steel wool, stainless steel whisks, chain and a willing subject, dressed for safety shot with a wide angle lens and long exposures. After weeks of delays due to rain, we finally had a night that worked. We had hecklers yelling America! as they drove by, I am sure it was a sight to see with the station being at the intersections of two main roads. Thanks to Lieutenant Tracy for partnering with me on this and Firefighter Lennon for spinning like a pro.

Drove around town to take some photos this afternoon. Stopped by Chicken Brook stepped over the guard rail checking out the scene. A rustle next to my foot, a quick look down and a grown man was dancing like a scared toddler, not my proudest moment. I have no idea how I did not step on it. I am saying less than two inches from my boot before it flipped out and made sure I knew it was there. Of course, after I composed myself, it was no longer a threat and now a photo opp. It did not want its photo taken at all hiding its face whenever I got close. The biggest snake I have seen not in a tank; we did not hang out too long.

I had a photo of pastries I was going to share. We had a family brunch for Easter, took some quick (and lazy) photos of the food and figured good enough. Then the sky put on a show for a few minutes at the end of the day, so even though the Church was in a photo earlier this week, well… look at that sky. Pastries below.

Out of respect for the show, I am not showing many photos of tonight’s dress rehearsal of Cinderella. The show is put on by the Medway Middle School and is awesome. The set, costumes, performances, songs, the whole show is great and needs to been seen in person. The show starts on Friday and will have three performances. Friday at 7:30 pm, Saturday Matinee at 2 pm (with a free photo opp on the stage with the cast and set after the show taken by me) and Saturday at 7:30 pm. You can buy tickets at the door at Medway High School before the show or online here. Great job by all involved!

Today was the 4th Annual Medway Foundation for Education Dodging 4 School event at the Medway Middle School. I was hit five times but never dropped the camera. Some of these kids are ready to turn pro; others are even better at fashion. Get a team together and join them next year. Check out the whole set of photos here.

the dailypic 3450 yr10 163 Judiciary in Our Schools Week
Today I was photographing the schools for Medway and I got to take in part of a presantion by Rich Eustis. Rich is a judge for Worcester County. This week is Judiciary in Our Schools Week where schools connect with the courts to have judges work with students and discuss the job and the court system today. Medway High School invited Rich to speak to our US History II, Criminal Justice, Civics, and Forensics classes. Students had the opportunity to engage in court decision simulations as well as ask him questions about the field and issues facing the system today.
