Philadelphia Eagles punter Sav Rocca makes a TD saving tackle on a punt return by Seattle Seahawks Nate Burleson in the 2nd quarter. It was close most of the game except at the end when the Eagles fell short and lost.





The following week was no better. When the NY (who play home games in New Jersey) Giants travel down the turnpike to Philadelphia, fans will tangle.
At this time, the Eagles had the upper hand, so the local Eagles fan gets to harrass the Giants fan.


With things still looking good for the Eagles, Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey can't hold onto a TD pass in the cold December ray-y-ane which is even colder then November rain.).





Here's the part where it doesn't look so good for the home team. The Eagles had to attempt a 56-yd field goal in the final seconds to tie. It went so far as to hit the crossbar...and bounce the wrong way. It missed. Game over. Eagles lose. Worst of all, I lose again and must buy my daughter-in-law chocolate chip cookies.


The Last Bingo - for the Ukranian Church of the Holy Trinity on Adeline St. in Trenton. The church held its final Bingo on December 11. One more thing that isn't going to be there anymore.

Jean Halko calls a Bingo number. She said she is the only female caller (patrons say a male's voice carries better). What year is this?


Lorraine Setaro, visiting from Florida to see her sister and cousins, holds up her hand signaling that she has Bingo.

Can you tell this is a college student working in the field? Not your average uniform for farm work, but these are young people doing volunteer time harvesting beets (among other things) at Honey Brook Organic Farm in Pennington for Farmers Against Hunger, a hunger-relief organization in Mercer County, under a program from the Bonner Foundation. This type of labor is hard enough on the back, but especially tough on those Uggs!

When the Miami Dolphins came to play the Eagles, they left Philadelphia the same way they came, winless. The Eagles defense held the Dolphin offense scoreless.




Here Lito Sheppard breaks up a pass intended for Derek Hagen.



Brian Westbrook rushed for 148 yards on 32 carries, both career-highs.





Already a diehard Eagles fab at age 6, Thomas Hall Jr braves the cold November rain along with his mom, Felicia.

I certainly don't have a problem with the weather on my job as a photojournalist. I have a pancho, plastic bags, all the necessary rain gear, but sometimes it pays to just stay in your car (and not even roll the window down) for a picture. I barely even left home, finding this man walking his dog in my hometown of Bordentown NJ.

Veterans Day 2007




Shadows are cast by visitors looking at newly-unveiled Memorial Bricks following a ceremony at the Hopewell Valley Veteran's Memorial.

Veteran Sevy DiCocco, one of the readers, recites names of those memorialized in the bricks.


Hopewell resident Sue Niederer, right, whose son, Army 2nd Lt. Seth J. Dvorin, a graduate of South Brunswick High School, was killed in the line of duty Feb. 3, 2004, holds back tears during the playing of "Taps" at a Veterans Day ceremony held at the Catholic War Veterans in Trenton. With Niederer is her grandson (Seth's namesake) Seth J. Dvorin, 19 months. He is the son of Seth's sister. Veterans from left are John Prihoda, Marine Corps Leage & John Stefani, Italian-American War Veterans.

Passers-by check out the elaborate Halloween decorations on a house in the 100 block of N Union St in Lambertville where many residents went all-out this year. How about where you live?


And let's not forget the lovely town where I live, Bordentown. This man started four years ago with a display of 50 jack-o-lanterns in his yard and now he's up to 214! He can't stop now either because people look forward to seeing his yard all aglow each Halloween.
