The end

Last night was the annual football and cheer banquet. My daughter received her trophy and gifts as a senior cheer leader for the Potter and Raccoon Red Devils. I also was recognized for my time on the sidelines and was given a really great player jersey with #01 on it and PHOTO on the back. I was really touched by the gratitude.

At last years banquet I had set up a background and lights to do portraits, but no one really knew I was there for pictures so I didn't do any. Over the course of the season this year, I talked to a few parents about me doing portraits again, but there wasn't any real interest. Last night, I brought all my gear anyway, but didn't set up. No one noticed I wasn't set up this year either, so it was a lot of time saved and I was able to just sit and enjoy the event instead of working it.

I did put together a slide show this year. It wasn't as polished as last years was which was my fault. I just wasn't able to put as much time into it this year. I used 450 pictures for the slide show and no music. (Last years was about 80-100 with music). The final tally for the season was 12,461 images taken. That's about 1,000 a game. I shot a few practices, powderpuff, player v parent, the senior cheer leaders and finished up with the senior bowl. Whew!

Right now, I am also working on my first "concept" production shoot. Hopefully, if I can get all the props together and the weather cooperates (and the models are willing to work), I can shoot this week. Maybe as soon as Tuesday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

Right now, I don't have any pictures (of anything new) to put up, but maybe later in the week if I get to shoot my concept.
