Group shot – Click photo for hi-res:

Had a chance this weekend to check out the Oregon High School State Soccer play-offs.  Here’s a shot from West Linn HS vs. Centennial HS:

Sunset Athletic Club threw a little grand opening for their new racquetball court expansion this past Monday.  To help kick things off, top ranked racquetball professionals Shane Vanderson and Jason Thoerner stopped by for an exhibition match and “play the pro”.  Even more exciting (IMHO), was the showing of my artwork on the walls of the expansion.  The club took two of my shots, blew them up to ~8′x8′, and mounted them on the wall.  I was REALLY impressed with what a 4MP camera is capable of!

Perfect excuse to get away from the books this weekend, a trip out to Mollala to cheer on the Tigard 8th grade boys basketball team.� They went 5 for 27 in the first half (!!), but turned it around late in the 4th period to win.

The reason for the whole trip this weekend; the annual youth basketball tournament in Seaside, OR.

Basketball season still in full swing ..

I don’t think it’d be possible to ask for better weather to shoot football – bright afternoon sun.

After a break from shooting football last year, we’re back in action.  A few new twists are in store for this season – most of the games are at night, and the trusty Canon 1D has been replaced with a Canon 40D.

Here’s the Tigard 8th grade season opener versus Oregon City – A narrow win!

The 40D did *ok*, with a noticeable lack of AI-Servo performance compared to the 1D.  However, my football skills are rusty, and the light was pretty bad.  I guess we’ll see how the rest of the season goes!
