We recently spent the weekend at a TCS Hockey tournament, the Music City Cup, with the Chesterfield Ice Dragons 10u Squirt squad.

The team went 1-0-2 in the round robin bracket, but took a loss in the championship game against a tough Above & Beyond Hockey squad from Chicago.

Chris Hammond with a BassOnce upon a time in St. Louis, Missouri, a man named Chris Hammond embarked on a voyage through the tech industry. This journey would lead him through various roles, from software development to product management, until he reached a realm he would call home: open-source content management platforms, particularly the DotNetNuke (DNN) ecosystem. This journey would become the basis for his personal blog, ChrisHammond.com.

As a photographer, there are few things more exhilarating than the opportunity to capture the power and grace of military aircraft in flight. And what better place to witness this spectacle than at the Scott Air Force Base Air Show? From roaring jets to precise aerobatic maneuvers, this event offers a visual feast for any aviation enthusiast. As I recently experienced this incredible event firsthand, I couldn’t resist the urge to share my experiences and the breathtaking moments I captured through my lens.

My first NASCAR race was pretty darn fun. Normally I would be out of town the first weekend of June, but due to lack of bike training I wasn’t at Unbound Gravel and had the opportunity to attend the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Illinois.

 

As a seasoned photographer specializing in dynamic sports coverage in the bustling city of St. Louis, there’s a particular subject that never ceases to spark excitement in my camera lens and my creative soul: bicycle race photography. For over 20 years I have had the honor of immersing myself in the whir of wheels and the spirited determination of racers, capturing these intense moments and converting them into breathtaking bike racing photos.

As an experienced sports photographer in the vibrant city of St. Louis, there’s one subject that has always captured my attention, and that of my camera lens, like no other: St. Louis hockey. I have had the privilege to experience the heart-pounding, ice-skating action from behind my camera, capturing the intensity of every game and transforming them into captivating St. Louis hockey photos.

 

My son has had the pleasure of playing with the AAA St. Louis Blues spring hockey program with Team 1 (Navy Blue) of the 6 team Squirt group. They have had lots of great ice team this spring, getting to skate with some of the best 10u ice hockey players in the St. Louis region.

As their season wraps up here are some photos from their 5/23/2023 game against Team 4 (Orange).

Recently I had my eyes opened up to the wonder of the Samsung Frame TV. If you have a Frame TV you can use it as a picture frame, either pulling in art work from Samsung (with a monthly subscription) or by providing your own digital files for use as display pieces on the device.

 

For the past month or two I’ve slowly been trying to purge things around the house. I’m not moving fast enough, with cleaning out my parents apartment more stuff has definitely come into the house than has gone out. 2023 will be the year of cleaning up, so I will try to keep this blog post updated with active, and inactive Ebay listings that I have going.

Update: With as many different listings as I have going, maybe I'll just link to my Ebay profile instead of trying to maintain the list here too!
