Watts Ok, Basketball Homecoming

2009' Watts Homecoming Royalty

Wow! What a night. I spent last Tues night Shooting the Watts basketball homecoming game. And while the lighting was not perfect, I must say most of the photos turned out not to be to bad.

Now, I have shot action stuff before but this basketball stuff is new territory for me and I'm sure it shows. Sorry guys, I spent the first half of your game trying to work out which lens was best, and which settings I needed, Boy I was really sweating it there for a while. And the action, Harder to keep up with than a mad 2000 lb bull chasing me out of the rodeo arena.  By the time we got to the girls game, I was dialing it in a little better... Still not perfect, but I was feeling a little better about life. I think 2 or 3 more games and I should be able to 

pull out some fairly consistent photos. I only hope that everybody will be able to find at least a few photos they like from this Homecoming.

Now For the girls, WoW!  Beautiful, every one of them. I loved the dresses and the hair.

Considering the lighting, the royalty photos did not turn out to bad. Beth the Queen, Just beautiful. I think her and the other girls did a great job with the homecoming. And the always lovely Rikki, I always enjoy shooting her, and at the OJRA Rodeos, I sure get my chance.

I would like to Thank Rikki's Grandma, who turned me on to this gig, Thanks Grandma.

I would Also like to Thank Watts Principal Mrs. Twyllah Morris for allowing me to come and shoot there event. Also, Thank you, Mrs Cameron for staying in contact with me, I really look forward to working with you in the future.

Last but not least, I would like to Thank the basketball Coach's for not hollering at me, I'm not sure if I irritated them or not, but they were very gracious, and I am looking forward to working with them again also. 

As always I am looking to improve what I do. So I am looking for comments, and suggestion, or anything that will help me provide a better product, and also provide YOU with exactly what you want.

If anyone is looking for some great photos, (Girls Senior Pic's are coming up) I will work with anyone in anyway that I can to get you the kind of photos that YOU want.

So feel free to call or email me at anytime, and lets talk about it.

Photography Joke

A photographer goes into a bar and sees a beautiful woman sitting at the bar. After an hour of gathering up his courage, he finally goes over to her and asks, "You are a beautiful woman, would you like to sit for me at my studio?"
To which she responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"

Everyone in the bar is now staring at them. Naturally, the poor guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table. 

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologizes. She smiles at him and quietly says, "I'm sorry if I embarrassed you. You see, I'm a journalist and I've got an assignment to study how people respond to embarrassing situations."

To which the photographer responds, at the top of his lungs, "What do you mean $200?"
