One More Week of Hell
Tomorrow starts my own personal Hell Week. I’ve got soccer, soccer, volleyball, soccer, and volleyball all between today and Tuesday when the final version of The Johnsonian is finished.
On top of that, there’s 1 (and hopefully 2) basketball practices that I need to go to so I can get pictures for the basketball preview.
This should be fun.

Double Duty Results
I hate night games. I get a few good shots, a lot of crap. Well, mostly crap. But that’s the way it goes when there are areas of the field that essentially get no light. It’s too bad that those areas are pretty important spots of the field.
I love day games. I get to drop the ISO and don’t have to worry about lights and shadows and all of the other things that make shooting night games so much not fun.
Double Duty
Because of a rainout yesterday, I get my first marathon day photo wise. Men’s soccer game at 3:30 followed by a women’s game at 7. I’m excited, I haven’t had a chance to just stay out there for that long yet. All that soccer should be great.
To celebrate, here is a shot I’ve gotten from the men’s a women’s teams this year.
On that note, I really need to start getting some of this year’s shots up on Sapid Existence.
Oh, the Wonderful Pictures
I’ve gotten a lot of pictures so far this year, and I probably should be doing a better job telling people where they are. The really good ones will probably find their way over to Sapid Existence at some point.
Men’s Soccer
Women’s Soccer
Cross Country
Intramural Sports
If you know people on one of these teams, make sure they know where to find pictures of themself.
Sapid Existence at Successful Blog
I’ve submitted Sapid Existence to Liz Strauss’ Blog-to Show. That was the easy part. The hard part is waiting another few hours to see what comes out of that. I guess my expecting to see it when I woke up is another example to egocentric thinking.
I’m hoping that things go well with that. I’ve gotten some some responses that have made me very happy, most recently this one from SuRi:
I wonder if you are planning a future in professinal sports photography. I know you have been published in your school newspaper from previous posts, but your sports photos are good enough to be in sports magazines (not that I look at many of those, but my husband does and your shots are right up there with sports illustrated)
Every time I hear that, I start to wonder if it’s something I should persue more activly. So if anyone knows where I can tart to do that in a place other than with newspapers I would love to hear about it. I just don’t want newspapers because I like to have a few days to go over my stuff and get it ready.
