Hi my Hog friends. I finally got out to shoot something, Varsity Soccer. I only shot one half (knees hurting). Hope I can do whole football game. A Freshman from one of our close high schools saw my MaxPreps.com site and wants to purchase some photos for sure. He has a game Thursday at 4:15 and i intend to be there for sure. Hope I can shoot the whole game. Looking forward to indoor sports to start as it won't be so bad, I can sit and actually take some photos. My knees will appreciate that. Here are a few to look at and critique. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Very nice Tom. Good quality and bring a small seat. Works great for us older shooters.

Hi Tom
I’m just getting use to walking in the house without my walker. After 3 weeks in the hospital and 2 weeks in rehab it’s going to be a long haul for me to get out and shoot again.
I have my name in for shooting the football playoffs on November 21st.
Get that portable seat. Google them. I think mine was around twenty dollars.
Be well

Tomorrow shooting a freshman football game. One of the players saw my galleries on MaxPreps and ask if I would shoot their games. This is first time I've had a chance and knees felt good enough to go. Hopefully I can get the whole game in. He said he definately wants to purchase some photos and he is getting all the other players to go and look also. It is being played at a local middle school, they have a newer turf field. Less than a mile way, so easy to get there and easy to get home. Well, hang in there. I will be checking in more often. Thanks BE SAFE!!

Hi Mike. I was standing on the side lines. Trying to get better at composition. Not just firing away when action starts and hoping for good photos. Thanks BE SAFE!!
