Day 168/365

     On Monday/Labor Day/Day 168 I finally got to shoot one of the Great Lakes Loons games, (the minor league team up here in the Bay City/Saginaw area). It was their last game of the season, it was incredibly hot and sunny, they lost badly, but I had so much fun. I love baseball, and I love taking photos, (never would've guessed, right?), and getting to sit in the dugouts and shoot the entire game was just a wonderful combination. The only way it could've been better is if I had been shooting the Tribe, which, coincidentally, was playing Detroit on Monday. 

Day 156/365

     Today one of my assignments was to get photos of a former Detroit Red Wings hockey player, Kris Draper, visiting the local minor league baseball stadium in Midland. While I was waiting for Draper to arrive at Dow Diamond I got to sit by the dugout and watch the Great Lakes Loons warm up and have batting practice. It was such a nice day out; it was a perfect afternoon for baseball. Unfortunately, I didn't get to stay for the game, but I'm hoping that I get assigned to cover one before this season's over. We'll see!
