Meghan Fardelmann
Last week I had a post about a pair of Boston College Eagles trying out for a European team. Another member of BC’s Class of 2009 has signed with a European team, but this time it is a member of the women’s team! Meghan Fardelmann will play for the Salzburg Ravens.
2009 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp
Have my first two days at the Camp now fully online (I skipped day 1 so this is days 2 and 3 which involved the full US roster/none of Team Russia) -
Some samples from August 8 below – click here for the full gallery
Some samples from August 9 below – click here for the full gallery
Images are available for all of the camp participants:

Still working on the rest – there are 500+ additional images online already, but not in a gallery – they can be found by searching on +”2009 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp” +”player name”.
Mary Morris Lawrence
PDN Pulse highlighted the end of Mary Morris Lawrence’s obituary which made me want to find out more about her “…In lieu of flowers, Mary would ask you to join the League of Women Voters, shop at Farmer Joes, write a letter to the editor, or break a glass ceiling!”
Check out some of these links for more information about one of, if not the, first female photographers for the Associated Press:
Obituary – included an inspiring list of activities she had taken part in this, her 95th year.
The San Francisco Chronicle also had an article on Morris Lawrence which included a photo of her from her days with the AP.
Oakland Tribune 2007 interview (note – link is to article, but not on Tribune’s site)
Oakland Tribune article re: death. I liked this bit “…In his 1938 book, “Get That Picture!” cameraman A.J. Ezickson described her as a hard worker and a cunning “scout,” gaining access with her small RolleiFlex camera to? scenes her less enterprising colleagues (the same ones who made “sly jibes” about Morris Lawrence) were barred from by using her wits but never “feminine wiles.”…”
Found some of her images online – hopefully the usage was with her consent – Ronpendorf.com and then click next at the bottom – on the first page, I particularly like the first two images; the Orson Welles photo mentioned in one of the above links appears on page 2, the shot of Eleanor Roosevelt on page 3 adds to my wish for captions as it is not self-explanatory, Ingrid Bergman at the bottom of page 4 looks so different from the somewhat dour image in my head.

I’ll just keep adding more links at the bottom of this post as I find them:
More info on her first marriage to photographer Ralph Steiner from a friend’s daughter Liza Cowan
Newest members of the San Jose Sharks organization – Daniel Rahimi & Patrick White
Joining Benn Ferriero in the San Jose organization are Daniel Rahimi and Patrick White in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks (Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich):
Realized when getting the Ferriero link that I had never done one of the embedded galleries for Nick Petrecki, Boston College Eagle signed last Spring by the Sharks so why not now (many more images by clicking on name):
Spokane Chiefs – nice tradition
The Spokane Chiefs name their training camp teams after former captains each year. Nice way to honor those alumni and keep team history alive.
I’ve never gotten to shoot the Chiefs, or any Dub team, but I have gotten to shoot a few of their players as they compete internationally including the following current players (more images may be found by clicking on their names):
