Some of my favorite moments from February of  ’09:

02/07/09 The ref rushes in and ends a fight during the 2^nd annual Belfast-Beltway boxing matches at the Westin Hotel ballroom in Washington, DC.  The event brings Protestant and Catholic boys who train together in a gym in Belfast to fight boxers from the DC area. Some of my images from this night ran in the North Belfast News . . .

An event I’ve shot for the 3rd year in a row is NEA’s Read Across America Day.

02/26/09 These kids from Mars Lane Elementary school in Baltimore are anxiously awaiting the arrival of The Cat In The Hat.

02/16/09 Deer path crossing the dirt road up to the fields on Ryan Farm.

02/02/09 Portrait of Jess.

02/06/09 Homeless man on NY Ave and H St.

02/04/09 Miss America 2009 Katie Stam dons her crown before the start of the Washington Press Club Foundation’s 65th annual Congressional Dinner at the Ritz Carlton.
