tech specs: cardinal baby

it must've been in the Cards

At the beginning of the 2011 season, I didn't believe the Cardinals could finish any better than 3rd place in their division without Adam Wainwright.
On my birthday on Aug. 29th, I didn't believe there was any hope of coming back and catching the Braves for the wildcard spot.
Now, I simply CAN'T believe what America witnessed in this postseason.
Way to go, Cards. You are the Dark Horses. You are the Wild Cards.
You are World Champions.

Enjoy a few images from Game 2 and today's championship parade!

By the way, if you're wondering where the picture is of NLCS and World Series MVP David Freese is, call the folks at KMOV Ch. 4. Their extended interview with David during the middle of the parade kept him looking off the other side of the float and down at the street while his truck rolled by. Great. Thanks. :(

Colby Rasmus, The Arch and lots of color

It's been an interesting week in St. Louis, with the Cardinals suffering down the stretch and the media stirring up dirt between second-year centerfielder Colby Rasmus and club management... (Good ol' sports reporters.) That being said, just wanted to share, visually, what we've been working on recently. Love the blue sky at the Arch in Downtown St. Louis (but wish it wasn't so busy that morning on the steps!!!) and the vibrant red at Busch Stadium (shot on the field, thanks to Creve Coeur Camera Day at the Ballpark).

a saturday of firsts in st. lou'

Saturday was an evening of firsts: First time out of the house with our new Canon 5D and 17-40mm ... first time to see Matt Holliday in a Cards' uniform (and he didn't disappoint) ... first time at the new City Garden in Downtown St. Louis (see other public photos HERE)... and the first time (as far as I know) that someone I know made the big screen at Busch Stadium...
