Day 196/365

     I'm working the night shift this week, which means you'll probably be seeing a good amount of high school sports coverage. Tonight's assignment was a boys soccer game at the high school down the street from my apartment. The only soccer games I've ever been to have been the few I've covered up here in Michigan, so I'm still getting the hang of shooting the sport, but I think I'm improving. It also helped that tonight's game was by far the most interesting one I think I've seen; lots of flipping and rolling and diving from the guys makes for some pretty easy photo opportunities. 

Day 175/365

     Tonight I covered a high school boys soccer game. I'm not much of a soccer fan, (though I will say that I'll take it over golf any day of the week), but the way these guys played tonight seemed more akin to rugby, so I was pleasantly surprised. I liked this photo the most out of the ones I took tonight. At first glance when I was editing I thought the Heritage player was getting pantsed. He's not, but I tend to sometimes have the same sense of humor as an eight year-old boy so it's still my favorite for that very reason. 

Day 101/365

    Today one of my assignments from my internship was covering the final matches of the United States Youth Soccer Association, (USYSA), Region II Championship Tournament. Apparently it's this annual national soccer tournament that's held in a different city each year, and Saginaw won the lottery to host it this year. There were tons of people, parent and players, and I've never seen so many different soccer games going on all at one time in my life. This photo wasn't used for the online article and slideshow, but if you'd like to read the article, (written by a fellow intern of mine), and see my slideshow with captions that all go with it, you can see those here.
