Well somehow we got it done, photos in 24 hours not 48 and have created a 13 year relationship with MLB.

Even though the photos appear the same every year, each poses it unique challenges.  This year one the participants thought is was more important to text during the shoot than it was to pay attention to instructions.

Well  this is the class of 2010.

Years ago, I discovered a small restaurant in Georgetown, Washington DC called Moby Dick House of Kabob.  It was probably one of the smallest restaurants I have ever been too.   At this location, there was only seating for 4 but the food was very good.   Since that day I have not frequented  Moby Dick House of Kabob often.   During that time I have visited the Arlington, Fairfax, Germantown & McLean locations.

Today prior to photographing the rookies of Major League Baseball at Lansdowne Resort, I went to the Ashburn, Va. location.  This time  not only was the food great but the service was incredible.  I had a chance to be served by store manager, Hamid Fard.  For a quote on quote fast food restaurant the food that I was served was a delight.   I had a Moby Melt with rice – hmmmm.  Good food, good atmosphere, great choice.
