shutter to think

back to work...

ahh sports. that's when i know i'm back to work. when the weeks of assignments are, for the most part, shooting high school sports. so this is what i do, in case your curious...what i'm assigned to shoot. not exactly what i had envisioned myself upon entering into the world of photojournalism. here are some images from the past week.

i don't like this new template typepad. the pictures don't upload like before....

!the mojito revolution!

when music and dancing is the rhythm and soul of life on this island, baseball is passion. it's what makes them feel free, like in the motion and movement of dancing. it gives them something to dance to and something to cheer for when there's little else. baseball is everywhere. in the streets, on the tv, or empty fields. its in conversations over peso pizza, or debates in the plaza. so when holly smacked the ball down center field, it gave us something to cheer about too. we cheered for each other. i can't believe she hit the ball! my turn. clank! the kids couldn't see the ball as Holly and I ran around bases after sunset. There were only two. First and third. the important ones in this barren field in vinales. i can't believe we hit the ball!

The wonderful world of a 50

I love my new 50. its like a whole new world of shooting and being in talking range with my subjects instead of the 70-200mm i would otherwise use....and shout.
