Summer Recap - Washington DC sightseeing stop & University of South Carolina Graduation


        My cousin and I drove down to South Carolina for a graduation, so took the chance to make a pitstop in Washington DC to do some sightseeing.  

View of the Washington Monument from the Thomas Jefferson Monument.

Hiroshima Monument.


       One of the location we made sure we visited was the Arlington National Cemetery.  As we were walking around one grave stone really stood out to us, it was the one of Sergeant Alan L Eggers.  We took the time to looking him and want found out was astonishing.  

       "Alan L Eggers (November 2, 1895 – October 3, 1968) was a sergeant in the United States Army during World War I. He received the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in combat near Le Catelet, France, on September 29, 1918, together with John C. Latham and Thomas E. O'Shea."
        
       "Becoming separated from their platoon by a smoke barrage, Sgt. Eggers, Sgt. John C. Latham and Cpl. Thomas E. O'Shea took cover in a shell hole well within the enemy's lines. Upon hearing a call for help from an American tank, which had become disabled 30 yards from them, the 3 soldiers left their shelter and started toward the tank, under heavy fire from German machine-guns and trench mortars. In crossing the fire-swept area Cpl. O'Shea was mortally wounded, but his companions, undeterred, proceeded to the tank, rescued a wounded officer, and assisted 2 wounded soldiers to cover in a sap of a nearby trench. Sgt. Eggers and Sgt. Latham then returned to the tank in the face of the violent fire, dismounted a Hotchkiss gun, and took it back to where the wounded men were, keeping off the enemy all day by effective use of the gun and later bringing it, with the wounded men, back to our lines under cover of darkness." - Wikipedia.

   
      Some shots I captured of my cousin at her graduation from the University of South Carolina.

Recap of 2015 summer - Second shooter for Alicia & Ryan Fitzgerald Wedding



     
        A couple of the days ago was the end of the summer and it has been a very busy one for me.  In the next few days I will posting on everything I have been working on over this time.    

         The first post is from back in May when I was the second shooter for my very close friend, Vermont based photographer, Hillary Dubie.  As a second shooter I was given the task of capturing a second point of view of Alicia & Ryan Fitzgerald's Wedding and capturing when the groom's party was getting ready.





      Alicia & Ryan picked the amazing location of Brown's Brewery in Troy, NY  for their ceremony and receptions.

Visit to Crooked Current Brewery

32oz growler of Immorality Pale Ale from Crooked Current Brewery with the brewmaster in the background.


      On Saturday I took a trip down Mineral Spring Av to check out a Rhode Island brewery, Crooked Current Brewery.  I got a chance to meet Rhode Island's only Female brewmaster, Nichole Pelletier.
     
      Nichole was really cool and fun to talk too, and their Raspberry Wheat Ale, Strawberry Blonde Ale, and Immorality Pale Ale were just as fun.  I enjoyed the pale ale so much I took a growler home with me.

Hiking the mountains around "La Mitad del Mundo".


"A man can be himself only as long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." - Arthur Schopenhauer

Self portrait while I was hiking the mountains around "La Mitad del Mundo" alone.  La Mitad del Mundo or the middle of the word, is located just north of of Quito, Ecuador and this is where the Equator pass.
