A busy weekend

Posted in: General News, Recently..., Sports Photography, Work

I worked this weekend, and like any other, it was busy, busy, busy.

Friday night, I was called out to a HUGE house fire. (True story: I could see the smoke from my apartment.)

Saturday morning, I attended the Juneteenth festival and celebration at a local park.

And Saturday afternoon, I hiked it over to the local skate park to photograph its first competition.

And today? Well, I shot baseball and weather art today.

All in all, a good, productive and HOT weekend.

    Elizabeth - I love that skateboarding shot! He looks so into it–I remember my brother at that age adoring his skateboard.

    Also, that fire looks so intense. I hope everyone was okay.ReplyCancel
