The final results are in from the WPJA First Quarter (worldwide) contest and I earned a 16th place for this emotional shot taken at an April wedding (Andy & Allison). I caught this moment as Andy gave his new daughter a gift - just before the ceremony.

House fire
June 24, 2009 // News
topham 0136.JPG

A perfect June afternoon was spoiled by a devastating fire that destroyed this home in a rural area - just north of Richmond. I covered this for The Richmond Times Dispatch, you can see the story in today's paper (see page B-6 of the "Metro-Business" section, Wednesday June 24th). 

The family lost their pet dog, plus all of their household belongings. And in addition, a scenic old farm house has disappeared from the landscape in King William County.

Kim and Mike are having their rehearsal dinner at The Boathouse Restaurant in Brandermill, which is located just on the shore (in the background) from this dock. Great area for fishing, boating and watching  the sun set.
