Youth Soccer

Only one of these shots ran, and it was one of those happy/sad accidents.
The photo that I like the best was one that I didn't see until I returned. I pointed the camera, took the picture and thought to myself, that's not the one. And moved on. But when I looked at the shots afterward, it was one of my best images. But I had no info. So my editor held it back for a week so he could get some info on the coach and team.
Unfortunately, that meant there was less room for the photos. So only one ran, instead of the two or three that might have run. These are the situations where I am glad I have a photo blog. Here are my favorites.

This was a Simi High practice a couple weeks ago. A cold, dreary day and very little time to make a good photo. However, I did end up with a few nice frames. It's always hard to make those standard practice shots interesting. I hope these images are a little more surprising and unusual.
























Even the coach got in on the practice!

Newbury Park High Infielder Michael Dennis

A few shots from last week. I was hoping for more photo room so a couple of these could run, but then again I'm always hoping for more photo room! :)
I always enjoy shooting the NP baseball team - every time I go out there, they're funny and easy to work with.
