Making Plans

I'll tell you more about this when it's at least 3/4 of the way done.

More derby

About Softball

One of my editors asked me yesterday if I played softball in high school...

And yes... I did.

So now I'm shooting a tournament all weekend. Those bright yellow balls whizzing by take me back to the day when I took a line drive to the face. I had a black eye for prom... I think it looked cool because my it matched my dress.







And I'll throw this in for fun... you are welcome!

Notice for you spammers!

Chimayó

* I know this is really late... sorry.


The annual pilgramages to the Santurio do Chimayó continue every Easter weekend. Most pilgrims start walking in Santa Fe, twenty-seven miles to the south, but others come the eighty miles from Albuquerque, walking part of the way barefoot or crawling the last few yards on their knees.

Bored...

So I took some self portraits.

My second passion in life (I hate when people say "passion") is singing. I was looking to be a voice major my first few semesters of college... but then I found photojournalism....so here I am.




...and this photo really doesn't even look like me.

Things that will never run.

Brooooooom!

I saw this guy along with his gang drive around town like 20 times today... I kid you not!

Democratic pre-primaries

Use of words...

When you use words, they also communicate a lot about you.







...I'm not making a political statement or anything like that. They're just some things that I came across today. They actually made me stop (and take a photo). Goes to show how powerful communication is.

Daily...

Went out looking for a feature... shot these two but they're not running.



... and my one assignment for the day:

Sun sets while walking Sammy

Olivia Selvage,5, her twin sister Reina, her father and two dogs walked by at the end of derby practice and wanted to watch. After the derby girls ended practice Olivia and Reina took advantage of the roller hockey rink. Below, Olivia, and her dog Sammy fall behind while racing her sister. I myself was leaving and packing all of my thinks into my truck when I noticed the sun setting and the beams that were reflected on the fence, forming a triangle. I like the way it frames Olivia's little hooded figure and Sammy. This light lasted about 20 seconds.

Outdoor Derby

So now that we have all sprung forward, and the sun sets later, that means the Disco Brawlers can have practice outside.

Hot Firefighters, Cold Weather

Pun intended!

It snowed last night... More snow than I have ever seen before.

A one-woman show

So everyone in the photo department is required to produce at least one multi media project a month. I barely made the deadline... I like to think that it took me so long because I was trying to get into the swing of things since I barely moved to Santa Fe a month and a half ago. This month was a fairly easy subject... but I hope you enjoy it anyway.
