Man, I've been slacking with this blog thing. It just boils down to when I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is sit at a computer and work with photos.
anyway, I've spent about 30 bucks of my change jar cash so far. I dropped five bucks on video poker last week. 10 bucks on parking in New Orleans yesterday. And who knows what else, probably just snacks from gas stations. (Sprees, Red Bull, Gatoraid...) But the change jar stats will be here whenever I feel like it. (I'm going to stop saying "soon" and just say "whenever")
I doubt any of them are still reading my blog, but last week, a Reggie Bush Blog on NOLA.com posted a link to my blog with the photo Bush and Joe Horn celebrating against the Eagles. But, welcome any NOLA.com readers.
I got some good football photos this weekend. (at least I like them). On Friday, I shot Terrebonne High vs. Ellender Memorial High. With one second left in the half, Terrebonne High tossed a 30-yard Hail Mary and scored a Touchdown to tie the game. This photo goes to show how important it is to understand the game inorder to photograph it well. I knew they were going to do that and I knew where to stand to get this image. Lucky for me, Terrebonne won so this shot ran in Saturday's paper.
I spent a rainy Saturday in Thibodaux shooting Nicholls lose 9-0. (yep, three field goals). But I was more interested in KSU vs Mizzou... until I stopped getting text updates from Ben. I've figured out if I don't get text updates during a KSU game, we don't have a chance to win. And we didn't... We got smoked.
But, I got a photo during the NSU game that reminded me of a KSU vs KU play a few years ago. Two guys Sam'iched KU's quarterback during a scramble and knocked him out of the game. But this hit on the Northwestern State quarterback knocked him out for a few series. It was one of those hits where the 7,000 fans at the game all went "oooohhhh"
Now, I'm no Defense coach, but I'm guessing you can't make a tackle while sitting on your duff. I just thought this was funny.
