'ELLO CAP'N





Just did these portraits for my new website (soon!) of my friend and colleague Paul Trapani. Paul is a fellow director / photo / educator guy and hands down the best hockey player I have ever had the opportunity to play with. He's not the most gifted player out there, but he's that coast to coast break through the defenders and score while falling through the air, Bobby Orr style.  All heart. When I was captain of the team, we were in last place, but I had Paul take over and we've now won 3 championships in 7 years (and not because of me.)

Paul is one of my favorite photo subjects, I just love the expressive faces he makes, as well as the ones he doesn't

The Deardorff 8x10 view camera belonged to Paul's father.

I had the pleasure of growing up with this guy and I'll have you know that Bobby Orr was one of his favorite hockey players. It says so in his fourth grade school journal:) Great photos by the way!!! I am quite familiar with those expressions.
