I spent this morning and half of the afternoon at the one and only rodeo school in New England
it locates in Canaan, CT

this is just the first day of getting to know what is it like
I am looking forward to go back and meet them again next weekend

here are a few picks from today's shooting.
Jim Shannon, thank you for helping me editing the photos

Goshen fairground

seems like I will send the entire weekend in northern Connecticut
a story about the Goshen Stampede
and a story about the only one rodeo school in New England

a picture from today's picture hunting, after the thunderstorm and before Goshen stampede started

steeplechase

I have to say this, I've waited for shooting steeplechase for two days.
I was covering the Connecticut State Boy's decathlon and Girl's heptathlon in New Britain these days. But I missed the girl's steeplechase yesterday because I have to go to another assignment.
Today, I waited from 11:30am to 3:30pm for shooting this event. and here is the picture,

a Jamaican wedding

one of my four assignments today is to photograph a wedding that the couple (both Jamaicans) requested guests to bring food as wedding gifts, and the food will be donations for Connecticut Food Bank

this photo is from the wedding but nothing related to the assignment.

high school graduation

I covered the Westover School 's graduation ceremony today. And Bob told me that I will have a lot more high school graduation to shoot in the following days.

This area has 48 high school, so far we have only covered 1/3 of the graduations.

back to work

I just had two days off, so I took a bus trip to NYC and experiment with the app Hipstamatic on my iPhone. will post some of those pictures soon.

I had three assignments today, a baseball game, a golf game, both are high school sports and a standalone photo about the local baseball team in Torrington.

below is a picture I took during the baseball game, but not from the actual game
