The edits to both my and Ali's photos are done! Over 3000 photos were taken, and narrowed down to just a bit over 1000. All images have been sent to the Special Olympics of Massachusetts. I am looking forward to being able to participate as a volunteer again!
My visitor count has hit another milestone with 1400 visitors!
Keep an eye out on Facebook! I plan to organize a few photo walks for those looking to learn more about their camera and photography. Let me know ifyou wish to be added to the list.
Tons of events, 1000's of photos, all in one weekend!
THS Softball: Edits done and the gallery is available for viewing! I did not make much of the game because the Special Olympics ran late.
THS Boys Varsity Lacrosse playoff game: Edits are done and the gallery is available for viewing! What a game! OT win! Best of luck as they move on to the next round!
THS Graduation: Edits done and the gallery is available for viewing! I may have more to post, Dani Morin used my other camera to take some photos as they entered, but I have not edited those yet.
TYSA BU18 game: Edits are pending.
Special Olympics: This was certainly the highlight of the weekend! We snapped over 2500 photos! On Saturday, Ali and I were photographing at the Unified Track & Field events at Boston University Nickerson Field while Dave was working the food service at Harvard University. This was an all day photo shoot! I think we captured EVERY athlete competing! On Sunday, Ali and I photographed at Harvard and were assigned to tennis and gymnastics! The passion and joy will surely be obvious in the photographs! Between both venues, there were 2400+ athletes competing.
I have been requesting to volunteer as a photographer for two years, but it was never a category you could choose from. Finally this year, photographer and videographer was added to the pick list of volunteer activities! We had a blast! We are now looking at the Fall Special Olympics to see if we can continue our participation. Soccer and equestrian events are on the list! My hope is to gather a few others to join us, there are so many events and athletes to cover!
And maybe the 2500+ Olympic edits from this weekend will be done by then!
Here are my next scheduled photo shoots: Some of them overlap a bit, but I should at least make some of each event.
