I've had the coolest past 4 months since I've started doing photography and Local Reporting with the Malone Telegram and the I've been able to meet THE Joey Lafranca back in December during the Clinton holiday classic and just Yesterday I was able to Meet another Journalist I look up to and have immense respect for, Benny Nezaj. I don't work with these people every day, frankly I rarely work with any of the Journalists at but the fact that some or most of them recognize my name is shocking and super exciting and when I do have an opportunity to work along side any local Reporters is amazing, it's always fun to learn new things doing this job, especially since I started doing this job officially fresh out of High school. I just wanted to say thank you to all of the people who have either offered advice or just treat me with respect even though I just came into the industry. It's really helped me find my footing and that confidence that has made me excell in my career to come!

One year difference. Scary to think about how fast time moves and the improvements and changes that can happen in 365 days.

I never had the Pleasure to meet William but I understand the importance of his heart and soul with the Athletes and families of Brushton-Moira, I pride myself In doing the most when I'm at work I'm glad I captured this image, the mix of quick thinking and understanding the importance of this monumental game allowed for me to think of this, Although I'll never experience the feeling you all feel with William being gone but I can understand the depth of your emotions, I can imagine the feelings you all felt tonight during your senior night, this game wasn't just about you four boys on the court, it was about the five of you, being together in spirit. I'm glad I had the pleasure to be able to get to know the four of you the past 3 years and I'm sad to see you all go and I'm even more sad I never got to meet Will, from what I've heard from all of you he was a great boy and a even greater man.

Sincerely,

Greg Bleakley

Similar to whenever anyone asks to take a picture I'm always good about it, especially the little ones, this little guy was excited to see my camera and play with it (with some help of course) during tonight's Coach's Vs Cancer tournament against St Lawrence Central, it's these special moments that make my job worth doing, even on my off days!

Thanks to for capturing this moment!!

I let some of the students at the Girls Varsity basketball game in Chateaugay tonight have a go with my cameras, I always enjoy sharing my passion and career with anyone who peak interest, Yes it's a risk to let students use my personal expensive equipment but it's one I am willing to take, it gives them an opportunity to try something new and get to do and understand something I love to do as my job and a hobby and for some they even pick it up as their own hobby.  Any time I hand my cameras off, the students always understand to be careful and respect my equipment and they always ask before they use it or do something with it. I put my trust in them and I expect the same in return. it's something I will continue to do at games with the local student bodies for my career as long as that trust isn't broken.

Until next time,

Olivia Simser Hits 1,000 Varsity Career Points

In a remarkable display of skill and perseverance, Olivia Simser has reached a significant milestone in her high school basketball career by scoring her 1,000th varsity point. This achievement is a testament to her dedication and hard work over the years.

Reflecting on her journey, Simser shared, “If I ever make a mistake, just forget about it and move on to the next play. Whatever happened before doesn’t matter. It’s important to me because I’ve worked so hard for so long to be the best basketball player I can be.”

Simser’s success is not just her own; she credits the many people who have supported her along the way. “The people who have helped me throughout this journey, it feels like an accomplishment for both me and them. Every coach I’ve had has given me great advice and helped me tremendously in my mission to become the best basketball player I can be.”

She fondly remembers her coaches: “First, I had Bob Bice from Hermon as my varsity coach for the first two years, and my assistant coach, Greg Caller, was always supportive of me. Steve Morrow coached me during my junior year and did a fantastic job with our team, helping us improve and have a great season. It was so much fun having Morrow as a coach.

Now, with Sam Dumont, he has helped ease my transition to this basketball team. It helps that the girls are all super nice, and he’s a great coach. Lastly, my dad, who is actually my travel ball coach, has taught me 95% of what I know. Big shout out to him for always being there for me.”

The momentous shot that brought her to this milestone was a fast break layup. “My 1,000th point shot was off a fast break layup. Chloe LaBelle passed it to me on the left side,” Simser recounted. “My left side isn’t my strong side. I wasn’t thinking too much; it was just a regular layup for me. I was just playing the ball."

The excitement of the moment was memorable. “I was so excited, oh my goodness! The nerves and any unsettled feelings I had completely went away. It was just a normal game." said Simser. "Everyone was happy for me. It made it that much easier to keep playing the game, doing what I do."

Simser's journey to this milestone has not been without its challenges. Balancing academics, training, and personal life required discipline and time management.

Her resilience and ability to stay focused on her goals have been key factors in her success, inspiring her teammates and younger athletes in her community.

Olivia concluded with a piece of advice: "Just keep going. Work as hard as you can. The effort really does pay off. Anything extra you can do, whether it's practicing sports or dribbling in the house-even if your parents might yell at you-it will pay off in the end. No one can tell you otherwise, as long as you try your hardest and keep moving forward."

Decided to watch the last 6 minutes of tonight's hockey game and ended up being IN a photo which is a rare occurrence for me. I always love being in a casual photo when I'm at work. The life of a small town journalist 💪🏼🙏🏼

Should I be in more photos?

I was trying to find something in my camera roll and I came across these, back from my early junior year where I either didn't have a camera and when I got my first ever real camera. While these aren't the best photos quality wise they all tell a story. Now with my new camera, the only difference in my photos is the quality, not the story.
