A Look at 2010 Winter Sports: From High School Hardwood to Wrestling Mats and Swimming Lanes…

What is it about the High School Winter Sports Season that gives the illusion that it’s winding down just as it gets underway? Perhaps the school break for Christmas and New Year’s plays a big role… but every year we feel the same way, and this year is no different. With only two weeks remaining in “regular season” schedules, we’re likely to have a busy two weeks ahead! Yet we’re still planning to capture more world-class “Winter Sports” images — whether they be on the high school hardwood, on the wrestling mats, or in the swimming lanes.

This season’s winter sports coverage actually began back in early December, when we photographed the cover image for the C.B. East Mens basketball program book. And as our schedule permits, we’ve been capturing winter sports images during C.B. East basketball, wrestling and swimming competitions.  A complete set of 2010 season images for each winter sport will be posted in our new online proofing galleries at www.david-nicholas.net within the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, here’s a random sampling of 40 winter sports images we’ve captured this season — displayed in a Lightbox Gallery format that’s new to our blog in 2010.

Simply click on any of the thumbnail images above to view an enlargement… then you can move forward (or backward) to view the next (or previous) enlargement in the image sequence.  You can close the enlarged view at any time if you’d like to return to the Lightbox / thumbnail view.  Enjoy!!!

Congratulations to Dana!!!

We ALWAYS love to share great news… so when we decided to launch our new blog during Spring 2008, we couldn’t have planned a better “inaugural post” than to send out our heartfelt congratulations to Dana for becoming one of the newest 2008 Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders!!! Many of you will recognize Dana from our Central Bucks East High School action sports and senior portrait coverage, where she was a member of the Patriots cheerleading squad for 3 years before graduating in 2007.

Earlier this year over 1,000 ladies — including members from last year’s Eagles Cheerleader squad — competed in open-call auditions, which were subsequently narrowed to a group of 60 finalists competing for the squad’s 38 coveted positions. The Eagles Cheerleader final audition show was held April 23, 2008 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Center, where the ladies were judged on appearance, dance talent, and an impromptu interview in front of a live audience and webcast. The Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleading Organization officially announced the 2008 squad to the public on April 26, 2008.

Just a few days prior to the final audition, Dana stopped in for a combination studio/outdoor photo session. And here are some of our favorite images from the session.

We wish Dana the very best in all her future professional cheerleading activities. Winning a spot on the 2008 squad will undoubtedly be a great opportunity for Dana to showcase her talent, poise, discipline and athletic skills in what is sure to be a year filled with high-energy Eagles football cheerleading along with many personal appearances at corporate and charity events! The cheerleaders’ travel schedule is already in full gear, as they’re currently in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic this week for the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader 2008 Calendar photo shoot.

So let’s wish Dana a huge “Congratulations” for this terrific achievement!!!
