I’ve been spending the past several weeks, reorganizing and backing up my entire digital archive. It’s been a little trip down memory lane looking through thousands of old pictures. Over the next few days, I thought I’d post some old work that I still love of kids that I photographed on assignment during my photojournalism days. Hope it brings a smile to your face too!
These three are from an assignment I did for the Howard County Times of the Howard County Spelling Bee in March 2007.
Hey Alice – That does not surprise in the slightest. Did you go on to the the national bee? I don’t know when spelling bees became such intense competitions, but they do seem to be high stakes now. If you haven’t seen the movie Spellbound, you should definitely check it out.
Did you know I was the 6th grade North Jersey champion in 1986? (It was all downhill from there). Your photos make the spelling bee look more charming and dramatic than I remember it being, but I love the trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting.
