America's Best Defense Black Belt Awards

Here is a five-minute edit of the black belt awards at the North Attleboro High School. This features stills and video, shot with the Canon 7D. Audio track is from the Zoom. The show was several hours long, so this is the result of quite a lot of editing. Thanks to Master Garcia for a moving and inspiring show. Some day soon, Alex and I will be on the stage, so I'll need a photographer...

Thanks, Dad

Dedicated to my Dad, who taught me lots about light and optics. Today would have been his 78th birthday. Gracias, Senor.

A bad check...

MLK: 'the riches of freedom and the security of justice...'
Now is the time...

Red belts

Alex and I were awarded red belts in Krav Maga last Thursday. If white is a 1, and the black belt is is a 10, this is an 8. Next comes half red/half black; then the black belt in hopefully another 12-18 months. Congrats to the students who survived the tests yesterday to earn their brown belts. Pictures are here.

Some of the best things in life are red

It took less than a minute for word to get around, that we had restocked the bird feeder. Snow here is up to about 14 inches.

This was a studio session at America's Best Defense in North Easton, MA. I shot pictures of three instructors and some of the advanced students in action. This is a mix of self-defense moves and karate jumps and kicks. Thanks for a fun photo shoot to all who were involved! Pictures are here.

Congrats to Payal and Mohit

Congrats to Payal and Mohit, who were married in Boston, recently. More photos are here.
