It was three for all.....

.....had a great Saturday shooting Texas A&M vs Arkansas in overtime basketball contest; won by the Aggies, followed by the Gonzaga upset victory over Baylor, than it was off to Jerry World to shoot the 5A Division II State Football Championship between Pearland and Trinity. Some of the highlights of the day was hitting former Bear Nathan Vasher in the nuts with my 300mm lens at the end of the football game and YES, it was on accident. Earlier in the day I high-fived Dallas Maverick Shawn Marion who was sitting in the front row at the basketball games, but the odd part was sporting a Cubs warm up jacket.....what? To cap the day off I had conversation with Candice Crawford; I guess for lack of better term Tony Romo's bride to be. I did limit my chatter though I didn't want her to change her mind about Tony he's a had a bad enough season, plus it's the holidays! And to be honest no way I could afford that rock. Here's three.....

Portraits....@&*#)*%^*$>~%!

As most of you know I don't like to shoot portraits! Football, basketball and anything that moves and no communication with the subject are more my style. But I was asked....So after weeks and weeks of busy Saturdays and Sundays the opportunity to shot finally came this past weekend. I selected a location that I have visited for about 5 years now but have NEVER shot there. It's a wonderful place close to home with color, angles, shapes, trees and much more....Thanks to the DeVille's who trusted and believed in me more than I did myself! Here's four...btw I am ready to do more.

I feel guilt.....

....because I haven't blogged in so freakin long...I just have been so busy and by the time I get done editing I am ready for bed and have to get up the next day and start all over again. Well, Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins were in town tonight to play the Dallas Stars with the home team winning 5-2. The game was highlighted by 4 pretty nice fights....so here's 3 pixs from tonights game!

Here's my take on Romo......

.....Not much for words for several reasons this morning! Mainly I am tired, didn't fall asleep until 3am...up at 6 to get the girls out so I finished editing....and as much as I am not a Cowboy fan I don't like to see anyone get hurt. So here's what I got.....

3 down, 1 to go.....

....well my weekend of 4 football games in 48 hours continues today as I head out to Jerry World for the Titans vs. the Cowboys. Not much to say, but I am sore and tired! Saw a kid score 5 TD's in the first half on Friday night, but than got hurt in the third quarter. Saw, TCU record back-to-back shutouts for the first time in 55 years with win over Wyoming. And not to be out done SMU beat Tulsa to move to 3-0 in C-USA and is unbeaten in conference for the first time since the SWC days.......coffee, waffle making and than into the madness of ALDS and NFL football! Here's 3 all TD's I might add.

Hockey?

It seems like just yesterday that the Blackhawks were lifting Lord's Stanley Cup and hell it's still 90 degrees here in Texas but yes, it's hard to believe hockey is back! The Dallas Stars took the ice vs. the Tampa Lightning and for the first time in Dallas franchise history Mike Modano isn't on the team so I guess in some respects it's a new era for the Stars. Perhaps they are going the goon route as normally preseason games are kinda boring....but the first period was highlighted by not 1, not 2 but 3 fights!!! And the big plus of the even I was actually cold in the AAC....the air cranked down to keep the ice from getting soft! Here's three....

Let's go B&W......

.......after talking with Andy last night at the Indian Springs 8th grade football games I decide to give my buyers another option; B&W. With a click of the mouse I can turn all my pictures into some powerful images by dropping the color from them. And even better when folks are browsing the galleries the B&W and color images are side by side....giving some nice options and pretty cool old school stuff! Here's three from last night......

Tropical Storm......

........Hermine is packing some rain as it hits the DFW for a second straight day! Over 6 inches of rain have fell so far today and parts of Keller are taking a beating. As I drove around I couldn't helping thinking about the good old days at the Daily Herald making weather pixs!!! As Eddie Money sings "I wanna go back!" Here's the goods.....

BEAVER!!!!!!!

......No kids Justin Bieber wasn't in town on Saturday night, but the Oregon State Beavers where. They took on TCU in the second Annual Cowboys Classic game at "JerryWorld," with the Horned Frogs prevailing over the PAC-10 opponents 30-21.

That being said this is probably no big to deal to fans of the Beavers or ones that play the Beavers frequently but for TCU faithful this was something all too new. And boy did they have fun with it. Kinda shocking for me to say that honestly that the "Beaver" signs become a bit gratuitous, but they did. It begs the question just think if they weren't playing a "Christian" University! Hell here's 7 for the beaver!

Week One.....

........of high school football season is in the computer for me, if you will; all edited and CF cards have been wiped clean to get ready for today's TCU vs. Oregon St. tilt at Jerry World tonight. Not sure why, but they call the first week of the high school season here "zero" week and second weekend of  games "week one." Wouldn't just be easier to start with Week One? I guess that's why I am not smart enough to work for the government or UIL!!

Well, Keller Central moved to 2-0  on Thursday night and last night Timber Creek played their first varsity game in the school history with only sophomores and juniors on the roster vs. Northside. The "Falcons" and head coach Kevin Golden are now a perfect 1-0 in the history of the school.

From head-to-toe players were losing helmets and shoes and a RB from Central is putting together a nice season with 301 yards on the ground so far this year. Here's....4!!!

FOOTBALL.......

............is BACK!!!! Although I shot a game last night; with Keller Central defeating Newman-Smith 24-21,  I found tonight's game to be much more entertaining and great atmosphere at Keller Stadium tonight with a near capacity crowd. The Indians played a very weak Irving Tigers team, who is 1-19 in the past two season....you can make that 1-20 as Keller won 45-7. It amazes me how much better I shot tonight over last night, I am think 2-3 more games and my timing might almost be there! i best hurry up TCU vs. Oregon State next Saturday. Well here's three!!! Make it 4!!!

It's been....

.....2 months since blogging...BUT I AM BACK!!! Shot the Rangers vs. Angels, the first place Texas Rangers I might add! No, I am not a Ranger guy but their 7 games up in the AL West and my Cubs are...9 out....A pretty uneventful night actions wise...but bulldogs were there, Bush was there and Tommy Hunter who is 8-0 on the season. Here's three....

Danny Noonan.....

....meet Jordan Spieth!!! It was a long, hot and sweaty day at the second round of the Byron Nelson Championship on Friday. Not many big names or top golfers are in town for the tournament as the highest ranked player in the field is Hunter Mahan at #17 in the world. The main attraction is a 16-year-old local golfer named Jordan Spieth from Jesuit High School in Dallas who is taking the tournament by storm. On Friday, Spieth became the 6th youngest player in PGA history to make the cut by turning in a two-day total of -3 for the tournament. As the day progressed the galleries grew larger and larger and the roars louder and louder....all the was missing was Al Czervik and  Judge Smails. Here's a high FIVE for the Noonan! BTW...there where plenty of  Lacey Underall's walking the course as it was Friday at the Nelson.
