The Light

I had some extra time on Monday, my day off, so I went to the park with my sister and step-mother and carly.  Carly is long story, she is not my sisters kid but my sisters boyfriend kid.  She has become apart of our family now.  Anyways, more on that later.  I had a blast at the park and took some really good pictures.  So I have been told by Renee Sauer that she is starting a blog some time next week, lets see if this really happens. HAHA

  

Two best

I told you all that I was going to post my two best shots from the Memorial Tournament and here they are.  The one golfer picture of Jim Furyk was the lead picture on sports saturday morning and the other weather feature didn't even make the paper, which sucks.  So I had to pick up Furyk on Friday because he was making a run to the top of the leader board.  It was a bright and sunny day and decided to try and be different from everyone else and get something super close on my guy.  I will say it now, I got really lucky with the sun hitting the club and making a shine like that.  I took a picture a couple holes before this shot and saw the same shine on the club but wasn't as close.  So I kept on trying to get closer until it work and got this great picture.  As for the raining shot, it took me all day to find a picture like that. The sky was dark and was raining all day and I walked past it at first and then it hit me.  I took about 100 pictures in 5 mins at all different  settings waiting for the right picture.  Then the ball came to the hole and the guys started moving his hands and I got the picture.  Of course the paper didn't run it the next day, they ran two picture from two days ago in the metro section and it was sunny.  I didn't understand why they didn't want to use it, they didn't have a single raining picture in the day.  It was a gross and grey day but I took a picture that I really liked.  

Memorial Tournament Week Pictures

I just finished the one of the longest weeks of the year at the Memorial Tournament , aka Jack's Tournament.  I was there for seven days in a row, and I bet I walked close to 20 holes a day for seven days.  Its a lot of work covering the a tournament like this, but I think I had a good week of shooting.  Here are some pictures from the the past seven, I will show you tomorrow the two best pictures of the week.  

Back in Athens

I had a blast last weekend back in athens with Villa, Jeff, Trainor, Whitehead and all the boys still in Athens.  Its always good to get back to athens in the spring time, there is always some kinda of fest going on.  This year it was Mill-fest.  Its also great still being able to crash at one of the houses you lived at in college.  28 Montrose was still rocking like the old days.  Also got to love PRIMETIME, where else in the world can you get 4 blackout drinks and 2 bud lights for 10$

I ammmm BACK

OK, sorry for the month long break.  I was in Blue Jackets depression after losing 4-0 in the 1st round to the Redwings.  This past month has been kinda of slow.  It will pick up here in a week or so, but I have been shooting a lot of softball and baseball.  So here is a picture from an Ohio State baseball this weekend.  Do you think he caught the ball?!?!! Let me know.

I am also calling out two former Dispatch Photographer Renee Sauer and Adam Alexander, both need to start a blog.  Renee is living out next to a beach and Adam is in the mountains and on the slopes.  You guys need to start a blog! NOW!

Kickin it with Reed

So in between game one and two of the playoffs up in Detroit I spent a little time with my little cousin Reed.  I had a blast playing with him and hanging out with some family.  Also good to see family.   

Al the Octopus

I love going to games at Nationwide Arena, but there is just something about the Joe.  If you are a big hockey fan you have to watch a game in the Joe.  There is just a different feel up here during a game.  I hope the Jackets can hang in there tonight and spring the upset.  Al the Octopus is a bad ass.
