A couple of months ago I get a call from a guy who turns out to be a former groom from a wedding we did in 2002. Of course, I believed his call had everything to do with that wedding or his wife Julie, or their 16-month old son.
After awhile, I learned that Kip was calling about a new venture he was starting that is based around a relatively new concept for this area. The magazine is run in concert with a website called tccsports.com (give it a visit if you’re a sports fan) that serves to highlight local high school sports. What he wanted us to do is to provide the sports photography for his local version of the magazine. This magazine has been highly successful and popular in the Loudoun County, VA area and he’s duplicating it here with the help of the publisher of the Virginia versions.
In short, it works like this. Six times a year, various players in seasonal sports are highlighted. The magazine goes out to all the area schools and is distributed free of charge. The website carries the same articles and photos, but also has game highlights and images, schedules and much more, including national coverage.
The concept is sound and like I said it is very popular in other areas. Kip has invested a lot of time and personal resources and we’d like to see him get started on a positive note.
I shot a few posed photos for the magazine for the football opener issue.
