Culver Academy Photographer: Cross Country Sectionals at Culver Academy
This afternoon, Culver Academy hosted the Regional Tournament for boys and girls cross country. With clear skies and over a dozen schools being represented, it was a great success. I primarily focused on shooting the Culver Community School Corporation and Culver Academy teams. Instead of creating four sperate blog entires (CCHS Boys, CCHS Girls, CHA Boys, and CGA Girls), I’ve decided to bunch everything into a single entry. On www.culverphotos.com. the photos have been divided out by school and team for easier viewing. I believe that Culver Academy placed first, second, and third in the boys event and first and second in the girls.
Culver Academy Football Photos: CMA JV Football vs. North Judson
This evening, the Culver Academy JV Football team traveled to North Judson for one of the last games of the season. The weather was a little cool but much nicer than the weather that they’ve played in recently. The Eagles played well and made the Academy proud. The game started out with Culver Academy returning the first two kicks that they received with touchdowns. I was busy taking photos of the game and forgot to note the final score, but I believe it was 26 to 8. I’ve posted some of my favorite photographs here; there are several hundred more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Academy Photographer: Garrison Parade
It was another great day for a parade! Two Sundays in a row, the weather has cooperated with sunny skies. Once again, the corp of cadets and coeds looked surprisingly good considering how early in the school year it is. For this parade, not only were the troops and batteries mounted, but the girls flag corp was also included. This parade was the final event of the 2009 Fall Parent’s Weekend. I’ve included some photos here; there are many more at www.culverphotos.com.
Culver Indiana Portrait Photographer: Bartleman Family
This afternoon, I was hired to photograph the Bartleman family and their two puppies after the Culver Academy Garrison Parade. The Bartlemans wanted to get this photoshoot because they are all in the same place only a few times a year.
We decided that the lakefront and at the senior ring would provide some ideal backdrops, so we chose a couple of different angles in the ring. We didn’t have the best light, as it was a bit overcast, but the Bartleman family brings their own light to a shot. They have great humor and had Ginny and I laughing the whole time. We all had a good laugh when we realized that we were so focused on getting the dogs to look at the camera that we forgot about the rest of the group. We had a blast with this family and were honored they let us take some pictures for their next Christmas card.
Culver Academy Parent’s Weekend Photos: Fall Ball
As part of Parent’s Weekend, one of the two formal dances held on campus highlights Saturday night. During the dance, there is an exibition put on by the officers that dates back to Culver’s origins and ties into their military heritage. This exibition is call “Officer’s Figure,” which involves both the students’ dates and their mothers. It truly is unique thing to watch as the officers are in their full Dress As and they march through a precision routine. Standing on the sidelines, I can always tell the people who have never watched Officer’s Figure. If you’ve never seen one, I encourage you to witness it sometime. I’ve posted some photos here though there are many more in the Student Life, Leadership section on www.culverphotos.com.

Culver Indiana Photographer: Culver Community Youth Football
What a fun game to watch and a beautiful day to be outside. I always enjoy watching the younger kids play sports as it is often more interesting than some of the sports with the older kids. Young kids make all the fun mistakes, and they are so full of energy and enthusiasm. The Culver Community Youth Football team didn’t fare well against the Lancers, but it was still enjoyable to watch. I think both teams played well and I was actually surprised that these youngsters played as hard as they did. There were several tackles that I would not have wanted to be a part of, and certainly at the bottom of the pile of… I’ve posted my favorites here; there are a couple hundred more at www.culverphotos.com.
