    The past couple of weeks have been really busy, 2 days off in three weeks. One of my shoots was really sad as I had to shoot a memorial service for a former athlete who died after being hit by a car after heading home from school. In fact I ended up missing the IU vs Minnesota game because the paper needed shots from that service. We also had the normal football, and also some volleyball and the soccer sectionals as well. So heres a few from the past couple weeks.

    1: one of the best freshman players
    2: just good timing, shot from balcony above court
    3: one way to get an interception
    4: the service for former football player
    5: collision and header
    6: tie game 2-2 and the winning goal with just 4.5 seconds remaining - underdogs win!
    7: the winners celebrate
    8: keeping the ball away from the opposition
    9: these two have kept me sane lately

    Re: The past couple weeks....

    Well nice to have you back John. I was seriously thinking about cranking up the pickup and heading your way to see about you. You said it was going to be busy abut I think you must of outdone yourself the last couple of weeks. some very nice images in this post. I especially like number two. That sport is so hard for me. You caught her just right. Hope your back for a while now.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Hey Larry, I missed your response somehow, saw Brians and guess I didn't look down far enough
    That was just a tiny bit of the past couple weeks, and tomorrow just got busier too as they added more volleyball before and after the band stuff in downtown Indy.
    Good you didn't come up, I'd have put you to work
