My sister loved to feed the seagulls at Nags Head, North Carolina, as displayed
here.
I don't know who this kid is, he just came up to me while I was photographing
a playground. I thought he was pretty cute so I took his picture.
This photo actually won first place in state. I was pretty satisfied
in the way I took it at the right moment and in focus. I took it
for the school yearbook at a soccer game, which we ended up winning in
overtime.
I like the angle I used in this photo of a freshman history class.
I took this at a homecoming pep rally. The people you see here are
singing the school's alma mater. This photo won 2nd place in the
city.
Here is another photo where I like the angle I used. I'm just glad
I didn't drop the camera.
This picture was taken at a high school wrestling meet. Little did
I know that this guy was a freshman (our yearbook only uses varsity players).
But I liked the shot so I used it anyway.
I shot this at a winter concert. Notice the choir singing in the
background.
This is my sister in the waves at South Padre Island, Texas. I told
her to look my direction, but she didn't listen.
This is a photo of bird watchers at Monterey, California. I like
the way the sunlight provided a silhouette of the couple.
I took this picture at an Easter egg hunt. I liked the expression
on the woman's face after finding two eggs..
Another soccer shot, I am still amazed at how high this guy leaped to head
the ball.
I shot this down a row of "pommies" doing leg kicks for a football game
against a rival school.
I like how the racket is blurred in this shot to show how fast these guys
can hit a tennis ball. (I found that out the hard way, as I had to
sit in between courts to shoot the pictures.)
Yet another soccer shot, this time of girls' soccer. The best part
of shooting soccer is the non-stop action, such as displayed in this photo.
I used this shot to sarcastically demonstrate how the school administrators
will do anything to look authoritative. Even though I set this photo
up, they often used their walkie-talkies despite being only 20 feet away
from each other.
