On Friday September 30th the Stanley Cup came back to Buffalo yet again, and I traveled with it all day, shooting from 7am until just before 10pm when I threw in the towel and called it a day. 15 hours is a lot of hours! I can’t imagine traveling with it, like Mike (the Keeper) does. Exhausting. Here he is inside the limo bus, after our stop at the Buffalo Zoo:

In one day, we made stops at Nichols School, Buffalo Seminary, Buffalo Zoo, an elementary school, East Aurora P.D, East Aurora F.D., East Aurora Boys & Girls Club, Rick’s on Main (an East Aurora restaurant), and a private home. It was a cold & rainy day (I don’t think the temp ever topped 50 degrees) but the traveling cup brought smiles to a lot of faces! This time I had Joe Cascio traveling with me the whole day too, which took a lot of the pressure off. Sometimes it’s nice to work as part of a team.

Yes, this is the real Stanley Cup. Yes, I did get my picture taken with it. Yes, it is cool. I had the privilege of being with the Stanley Cup on Sunday, Monday AND Tuesday! Here are shots from Sunday.

I met the plane at the airport when it landed Sunday afternoon.

I love horses, so going to the barn to photograph was a really fun time for me!

I loved getting detail & candid shots at the party that evening!

Anyone who knows my work knows that I love taking food pictures!

And finally, just a portrait of the cup itself.
