If you’ve been following my photos for a while, I bet you’ve seen more than one of my granddaughter, Bennett. She’s going into the seventh grade in the fall and loves sports. It doesn’t much matter WHICH sport; she likes them all and is one of those people who has natural athletic ability. She’s played soccer since she was four, and it’s her first love. She also plays volleyball, basketball, and golf, and runs cross country and track. And if her school offered fencing or water polo or bobsledding, she’d do that stuff, too.

That face. That face (and the man attached to it) was all I saw in a huge crowd of people heading toward the Cathedral. His life’s story is right there for everyone to see.

game/face
Because I am still encumbered by that delightful orthopedic boot, I am looking for ways I can still make photos without a lot of walking around. Also, it’s freaking hot and who needs to be walking around in that??
Turns out that a minor league baseball game holds a pretty good set of subjects, including this player getting ready for his turn at bat. I’ve never quite seen this much concentration on one face.

fire/light
I don’t know even one thing about the technical part of lighting for portraits.
But what I do know is that the flames from a nearby campfire provide a nice warm light for this cowboy’s face.
