Boerne ISD Invitational Baseball Tournament

The Boerne ISD Invitational Baseball Tournament began Thursday and runs through Saturday. I had a chance to shoot three games at Boerne High School today and plan on a couple at Champion tomorrow. Clouds were nice, but could have done without the mist/drizzle...though the teams seemed to take it in stride with some great hitting and.

Downtime...

Wow, it's been a while...

Managed to make time for whales and surfers and queuing up for a bit of baseball and possibly lacrosse.  If you have someone playing you would like coverage of, please drop me a note with their team, number and position and I'll see what I can do.

If you are a photographer and value your equipment, please check out ThinkTanks latest offering of a free eyepiece with rain cover purchase (I'm buying one).  If you don't need that, any purchase from ThinkTank using the link on the right gets you a free bonus gift and helps support my no-cost spec shooting schedule.

Pickle Ball Anyone?

Just got back from a week in Mexico. I hadn't expected to shoot much, but discovered what is a new sport for me, but something that's pretty popular down there.  A mix of tennis, badminton and whiffle ball on a small court...just wish I'd brought some different gear. Check it out.

Diwali 2012 - San Antonio, Tx

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is the celebrated all over the world, but this event in San Antonio is one of the largest outside India and is the only celebration in the United States sponsored by a city.

Let's see, lots of color, dancing, costumes....hmmm wonder what we can find to photograph.

Canyon Lake Hawks @ Boerne High School Greyhounds

A big Thursday night game for Boerne, as they had to win to move into the playoffs.  TV cameras everywhere as the game was being televised live by KRRT-35.  Which means I was tripping over wires and adding videographers to the list of folks on the sidelines.

No big deal, lots of great action...find it all here, at BoerneSportsPhotos.com and a select few on MaxPreps.com.
