Had a great weekend....

...shooting the TCU game! Looking forward to hopefully a few more college football games over the next few weeks, but hockey and basketball are coming into focus; literally and figuratively. Here's my favorite photo from the weekend.  I think more than just this little are scared of the Horned Frogs!!

Ya can't............

......beat fun at the old college basketball game; UNT over Jackson St. 68-58. I will edit in the morning....goodnight John Boy!

It....

.....was a fun day up at North Texas shooting Army vs. The Mean Green. Really cloud and overcast; by the time the 2nd half started the light was non-existent! Action was also pretty slow too....17-13 was the final not much happened exciting.  Edited, caption, upload...time for beer and pizza! WOW....I am not much for words tonight.

HOOPS....

....are back!!! Well, it's been about 2 years since I shot basketball, because last season I enjoyed Brittany's final year of playing high school basketball by watching the games and not shooting them. Perhaps it's just me, but I find it impossible to watch your kid play and make pictures at the same time. There is so much action off the ball that you miss when shooting. So, I often found myself trying to do both and it didn't work! So I sat in the stands and watched. Glad I did....damn time flies......Well, I didn't do great last night....but not too bad for being off 2 years! Wednesday night shooting UNT @ UTA......at Texas Hall, for out of towners wait til you see this set up!!!

I forgot the....

That was one long day! I am freakin sore and tired....12 hours of shooting three football games...now almost done editing two of them...That's it for the night! I guess the only sad part is that I got so into editing that I forgot to pour my whiskey to sip on! SHIT!!! That's the only reason I do it; for the WHISKEY!

FIRE......

....ANTS!!! I decide to go out & shoot an 8th grade football game tonight, just minutes from my house and my daughter Claire wanted to go to game as it was.....so it beat sitting home watching TV....But I was certainly in for a surprise as I knelt down on the grass....I put my knee right in the middle of fire ant mound and those little suckers did a number on me! OUCH!!!! Pretty unsightly too! Than I thought about it......out of all the games I have shot this fall only four have been on real grass, 3 of which were at TCU which is in great shape...no mounds there!

Kinda some cool actions tonight and they wore "throw back" jersey's too...DIG THAT YELLOW!!

There really...

....is nothing better than shooting day college football! It was a chamber of commerce day in Dallas at the SMU game; 75 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Happy Homecoming to the Mustangs, who beat Rice 31-28 and with one more win become bowl eligible. Edited and time for a BEER and PIZZA!!! Go BEARS!!!

DAMN.....

.......I missed the gatorade bucket shot....darn kids did it before the game even ended....I was able to pull this frame; I think it works.....GOODNIGHT!!

A great game...

....on tap for tonight! You know that team I talked about acouple of weeks ago...Fossil Ridge, who was 0-6....well now they are 2-6 and believe it or not with victory tonight over crosstown rival Keller their in the playoffs. To add to the drama, Keller also needs that same victory to secure the final playoff spot in district 5-5A.  So there you have it....one game...one team advances to the UIL playoffs a game next Saturday at the new Cowboy's Stadium in Arlington, TX.  (pictured to the left; Fossil Ridge coach Tony Bacarini)

The worst part......

....about not being around other photographers is the editing process (atleast for me)......we all go out and shoot images; come back and edit. Than the fun starts....which ten are the best, what ones tell the story better, too many wide, too many vertical the questions abound!!!!

Today, I got to shoot Maddux getting his first haircut....well, I got 40 or so really nice images for the parents....now what are the ten best?

Here are a few........

0-10 get me a pix.....

Northwest Texans junior QB Jacob Jones takes a knee in the endzone as the stadium lights are turned of at Keller ISD stadium on Thursday night as the Keller Central defeated Northwest 34-7, making the Texas 0-10 for the season.

What JOY!!!

Can you believe a HS gym with ISO 3200, shutter speed 1000, f 2.8? Yeah I could have shot at ISO 1600 but I love to stop that damn volleyball....nothing worse than motion blur!! Well, kudos to the new Timber Creek High School in Keller, TX; it gets the award for the brightest high school gym I have ever shot in. BTW the stand were full...and no drop there either....
