YAY PICTURES

So this is Clark Boys Lacrosse. These are my best three in my opinion and the ones I submitted to the Scarlet. They put in the team shot and the one of number 13. But everyone really liked these ones and I think they actually came out better than I had anticipated. It was a lot easier to see the ball than I thought it would be. In the pictures I mean, it wasn't easier to see it while I was taking them. It was a very fast paced game. But I think I did pretty good. I did an Agawam Girls Lacrosse game last week as well but I haven't edited those yet. But the way the game was played was completely different. I really wasn't expecting that much of a difference. And where this game was at 5pm the girls game was at 11 in the morning so obviously the lighting situation was very different in both sets. It is also easier to see the girls' faces because they only wear goggles which is kind of nice. But I will hopefully have those pictures for you next week in class and on my blog - we will see. I also shot the baseball game Tuesday but I'll be editing those sometime this next week too - those are hopefully going to be in the Scarlet Thursday. It just upsets me because I don't think I did as well in this game as the last game and those weren't in the paper but these ones will be.

In other news, I tried the Mondrian cover idea Frank gave me. Basically the idea is to see how shapes and colors fit together so I just used squares/rectangles and fit them together with a little bit of black in between and a black border around the edge. I worked on it this afternoon a bit with Claire and then just now Noreena helped me too. It just feels really helpful to have someone to bounce ideas off of and even if it's just simple things. I've been asking Anna a lot in class lately because we usually end up editing next to each other and she's been very helpful :) It's just so hard sometimes because they all look the same after a while and it's hard to tell which are better than others. But everyone in class Wednesday decided I'm going to take my contact sheets to the sports department and ask if they'll hire me next semester, Frank said he'd find the contact information for me. So that's exciting. And Nina just posted something on my facebook about a youth sports day that they're looking for a photographer for. But back to life, my book is coming along nicely I guess. I've decided I think I just want to mix all the sports in but I still have lots of work to do. I really need to work on my statement and such. But I think I will be heading to the lab tomorrow morning before Gala practice. Hopefully we won't be kept late at Gala tonight, as of right now - we're scheduled to be on stage at 1 :O ahhh, unacceptable. Okay, I'm going to go now :) I want to do a fun Easter post...
