These are great as usual, I wish I could get my shots to look like yours. I never will. They had a board meeting last night and are finally giving the go ahead to start sport practices today (YEA, YEA, YEA), it is about time. My grandson needs this. They are not allowing anyone to go to practices. If you bring your kid you have to drop them off and leave, you can't even stay out in parking lot. They also said that they would allow 4 tickets per family, three if at one of the smaller fields like soccer which has smaller stands but they do all have new turf fields. I have to make a lot of phone calls today to see what this means to me and field access. As you know I shoot for MaxPreps.com, some here may not. The state had said that the players box would be extended from 10 yard line to 10 yard line so players could keep social distancing. I don't know what that will be like shooting from just the 10 yard lines in to the end zones. Now that being said I will be calling like I said before to the Athletic Directors of the three school districts I shoot at and also will check in with my Kansas State High School Association contact. I know the state had said that media would have to be outside of that 10 yard line deal. I listened to the board meeting last night (and now know why we have problems from time to time) and they didn't mention media at all, where they could be or if they could be on the field or in the gyms etc. So that is why the phone calls today.Well I will let you go. Have you started any sports yet? Be safe my friend and keep doing what you do so well. The same goes for all the great group of sport HOGGERS that we have. Thanks

Still very little softball in my area and a friend posted that his daughter's game was limited to one spectator per player!

No sports here in Las Vegas at all either. These shots were from 2019. I just wanted to share a little bit.
Be safe.

Great hearing from you and Tom. Hope you guys are well. Looking forward to covering my grandson’s HS football but unsure I will be allowed on the sidelines like before. Paul

Fabulous radiant smiles... loving the catch lights in those stellar barbie doll eyes...
Winning combination with strong back lighting and fill flash... An oft used scenario in fashion editorials..
Great to see you coming over to the dark side and shooting FX... lol
That D4 is an awesome piece of kit... what speedlight combo graced it for the first team rendering?

Superb pivotal moment on the slide into third base?... spot on... and the ball is in the frame! Awesome!
Epic as always Jules... You're a tough act to follow...

Looking forward to more of your archived pre-pandemic work...
Superb Sports Imagery is timeless...

Yes sports are open now. The state says I can shoot from the 10 yard line to the end zone both ends. Not sure what the three districts I shoot at will allow yet. Waiting to hear from one. Will try and get with the other two I shoot at today and see what they say. I could also go across state lines if they allow it, we are right across from Missouri. I have shot a couple of schools over there before. Hope they allow you access to sidelines. Stay safe.
