Andre Agassi came to Baltimore for a charity tennis match. I took this shot while waiting to do live hits for the early show. He seemed to be in a great mood. He played Andy Roddick later that night.

President Clinton threw out the first pitch at Camden Yards his last year in the Presidency. This is a frame from the video I shot. I shot him on several occasions...close enough to shake his hand. Clinton's a big guy in person. And has commanding charisma.

This is a frame from video I shot when Queen Elizabeth visited Memorial Stadium in Baltimore with Pres. Bush. I was shooting thru a bullet-proof glass that had been set up. I was the local feed photog. My video was used by all the local stations. I have to say this was a highlight for me.

This is the scene of the Baltimore Ravens returning home to their training camp the day after winning Super Bowl XXXV. It was a madhouse. Lots of fans and lots of cameras.

I love this shot for what it means to me. This is a shot from my tiny still camera. I had it in my other hand as I shot the video. This is the NFL Lombardi trophy being held to allow the fans along the barrier that day to touch it. I was a childhood Colts fan, went 14 years without a team in Baltimore, and now live and die with the Ravens on Sunday.
I found myself walking alone with owner's son David Modell from the road to the complex.

I asked him if I could touch it.

I only placed a fingertip on it.

That's all I needed.

It was sweet. Champions again. So sweet.

Modell later remarked to the press that day that people approached the trophy with "reverence".
I'm sure he was thinking of me.
