This was my favorite photo from a day of shooting in Washington, D.C. during this years Vigil for Life and March for Life, annual events that bring together pro-life activists from all over the country. There are a lot of families and youth who attend. This little girl was taking part in an early morning Mass at the Basilica of the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Her eyes make the moment for me. copyright CATHOLIC COURIER

This ended up on the cutting room floor, but I like the feel of it. And I really like photos of musicians in black & white, lets you focus on their face, their body language and their instrument. ©CATHOLIC COURIER

One of my favorite Christmas photos from this year, a very serious Captain America after receiving a mask from Grandma to go along with his shield.
