12/10: ACRA Winner Flip

December 10, 2014

December 5, 2014

Here's a photo from the Knecht Cup back in April. It's of VCU sculler Bill Weirich following his win in his flight on Sunday morning of the regatta. This image is unique in that his port is perfectly parallel to the water with his hand off the oar and it only lasted for a split second. more

12/4: UW Cox Toss

December 4, 2014

The cox toss following a big win is one of my favorite things to photograph as no two tosses are the same and you never know what will happen...other than the UW men trying to set some new height record. more

Calm Waters - The Day After Rows

August 16, 2013

I took a row on the Carnegie yesterday morning; temps in the upper 50s and a bit of a pushy wind might have predicted a tricky row, but instead it was nearly perfect - blades locked in, boat sending, quick times in both directions. It felt like the lake was giving me some help; somehow on the morning after a big rowing event, or in this ca more

On row2k's last outing with the US junior teams, both of the local eagle juniors came out to watch practice, swooping and sparring in mid-air, and then finally alighting on two adjacent treetops to watch the crews. Call it a coincidence, call it a sign, but go ahead and call out Go USA!
