more sports, more features

With our ever decreasing staff, there are fewer and fewer assignments to shoot ... except sports! seems the only things i shoot anymore are sports and feature photos. here are two recent "clips." hope everyone is having a good summer! (if anyone reads this anymore ... ha!)

sloppy game

we got over an inch of rain yesterday - nothing Biblical or anything, but it must have bit too much for the Lutheran South soccer field. i started shooting the typical "soccer" photos then the ball would get stuck in the mud about center field. It was a sloppy wet photo extravaganza. i shot over 500 photos (ha ha!), just hoping to get one whip out. and then after 80 minutes of squatting in the wet grass the photo gods gave me a gift - the wipe out i had been waiting for. 30 seconds later the game was over ... phew. at half time i also shot two boys carefully walking through the wet areas surrounding the field on their way back to watch the rest of the game.

lightning delay

lightning does strike twice in the same place ... three times actually (okay not in the exact same spot but close), canceling my soccer game tonight midway through the second half. on the way to the game i spied this girl hanging out at the concession stand ... i liked the dead center composition.

the driveway adventures

the kids love riding up and down the driveway on their push cars, quad and bikes ... up and down ... up and down. jack has graduated to a big boy bike, though he tells me he doesn't like it ... that it needs to be fixed. i pretend to "fix" it so he keeps trying - it is much bigger, so he may be a little scared.

working

a sample of stuff i shot from this week: sports feature, tire swingin', and a pinwheel memorial for abused children. tomorrow .... the easter egg hunt! WooHoo!!!!

family portrait

not often we're all together and sitting still, so i grabbed a family portrait ... the ole "Hail Mary"

i love you ... bye
