Anderson County Baseball Tournament
Late last Friday night I started hearing some rumors of a baseball tournament being held at Anderson County High School, and after looking at the weather forecast I decided I NEEDED to cover it…it was really nice to get outside and shoot in the daylight with nice warm/dry weather!

SportsShooter
This is a bit off topic with all of the Baby Stuff going on right now, but I recently applied for and was accepted into the www.sportsshooter.com group. Sports Shooter is an online community of working sport photographers, photojournalists and student photographers. Unless you’re actively shooting sports or news, this is probably not much interest [...]

Yesterday I went to the Halls @ AC Freshmen and JV games to practice with a new [...]
