Pipsico Scout Reservation

I went out to the Pipsico Scout Reservation to get some stock photographs for the council to use in promoting their summer camps. I ended up picking one of the hottest days of the year to go out there but it was well worth it.

This is the Pipsico Tree, as you can see it is amazingly large, the legend is that Chief Powhatan is buried there.



Here a Camper is practicing how to throw a life ring while working on his Lifesaving Merit Badge.



These campers are excavating at the site of an old Plantation House on the Reservation. This is part of the Archeology Merit Badge.





This Staff member is helping some Campers with their Leather Working Merit Badge projects.



The camp is located on the southern shore of the James River, this Camper is Canoeing in the river.

Portrait: Jesse Scaccia

I shot a portrait of Jesse Scaccia, editor of AltDaily, he was kind enough to take some time to be my subject for a photo assignment/contest. We went up to the top of a parking garage to use Downtown Norfolk as the background.

Jesse is a great guy who really cares about improving the quality of life for everyone in Hampton Roads. He has a lot of great ideas and is open to more, always looking at what the city can become.

The final portrait showing him looking out on the city, thinking about his next project.


Here are a few more from the session.
