YAY PICTURES

So guess what?! I have officially been published in the Scarlet. YAY! In my opinion, these are my 3 favorites from the WPI game and they were also the favorites in class along with one other one that I guess at the time I did not realize was good or did not want to edit for the Scarlet so I don't have a jpeg image of it unfortunately. But I pretty much got my own page in the newspaper, it's so exciting. Because their sports section is on the back and so I picked it up and got slightly upset when I saw two articles taking up the whole page and then a friend of mine began flipping through it and she saw that on the next to last page was a spread of my pictures along with the puzzles. I know it's nothing that special and the quality is slightly bad and it's black and white but it just makes me feel a little bit better about everything. It makes me feel like I'm honestly using my pictures for something. I know that everyone is saying they're good and whatnot but I really feel like what's the use if they players don't actually see them? Most sports players love pictures of themselves so I'd really like to actually put them out there. Which reminds me, my soccer picture from Holy Cross (the one of the guy in the air that is obviously a foul) got into the art show! YAY! But it just makes me laugh because the art show is a consortium show so what if he ends up seeing it or a friend of his does. I would honestly be thrilled. I am thrilled that it's in the show to begin with but that would make me even happier.

Onto other things, these were some of my first basketball pictures. I had taken some over break of my high school team but no one in class really liked any of them and those were ... less intense? They were only JV basketball and it was more me taking pictures of my best friend's brother and my neighbor and I feel like I didn't get many good ones. But I shot the girls game yesterday and the new lens really did help (THANKS FRANK). I was in the "endzone" too (I know that's what it's called in football so we're just going to go with it). So I think I did good, I hope. I will find out tomorrow when I upload them I guess. I feel like I didn't take as many as I normally do though, I didn't even fill one whole card - it's weird. I know I did go a little late because we had rehearsal for the Woo Dance Plus but I wasn't that late. Oh well, I tried. The winter season is almost over though which is kind of sad because in the in between season I need games which is why I think I resorted to dance last semester. But none of the choreographers are that far along because we've only been doing it for about a week or so. I guess I'll figure something out. But I really like the one of the crowd in this set. It's different from what I normally do. And honestly, Frank has been telling me to get crowd shots but the only games I have ever been to where there has been an actual crowd have been Southern New Hampshire games and the lighting is always horrible because of the way their field is set up. But I am going to try to make a more conscious effort and I can even attempt to zoom in to make it look like more people? I don't know. We will see I guess.
