Pictures from the Backseat

I took a few pictures from the backseat during the two-hour ride to Tallahassee yesterday.

Red truck making time under blue September skies.

Enjoying the ride.

Speigel shot!   Traffic was heavy at the start, so Lori was really focused on the road.

Big truck.

Spiegel shot!  Again.  Kyra reflects her mom at the wheel.

Big wheels keep on rollin’.

On the road refreshment.

A little friend popped up to say hi.

Time for a rest stop.

Women’s Lacrosse Camp

Our daughter attended a women’s lacrosse camp with other high schoolers where they learned tactical strategies from top college coaches and had fun competing as teams in a final camp championship.   I took a camera along for the Saturday morning finale.

I shoot with two cameras for weddings.  But this was a last minute decision to shoot this personal project.  And it was hot!  So I grabbed one camera (Canon 1Ds Mark II) and got all the coverage below with only one lens (Canon 300 f/4 IS).    The capture  format was JPEG.

Even though I shot with just one prime lens–and a long one–I used it creatively to approximate the view of a medium and wide angle on some shots for variety and scene-setting.   Sports is all about peak action and drama.   But, as always, I tried to capture the essential narrative of that morning’s athletics and tell the story of the event.

A Little Slice of Paradise

We enjoyed our first family beach day of the year.   April brought us perfect weather.  And my favorite local beach is just a four minute drive from our villa.

A little nature walking.

A little dune strolling.  I just love the twisted sand oaks.

A little claim-staking.

A little reading.

A little sleeping.

A little sport.

A little refreshment.

And a little “America’s Next Top (Smartest and Most Beautiful) Model.”
