Jump on it

This was at a football practice I was shooting today and they had speakers set up playing loud music. If you can let yourselves imagine for a minute...The three guys on the right were dancing to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Jump On It" during drills.

Cannonball !

This was a swim team that had their final day of "practice" today. Since it was the last day the coaches let the swimmers have an open swim day. The worst part about taking pictures at a pool on a hot day is not being able to go swimming.

Dancing

Robinson Tennis

This was taken yesterday, Tuesday, from the Robinson Tennis Tournament which is kind of a big deal. The fella in the photograph is from California but said he plays all over the world in places like Costa Rica, Japan, ...etc. Needless to say, he beat his opponent pretty badly. His opponent didn't even win a set. His opponents had spectators that appeared to be family members and they told this guy that he should've let his opponent have at least ONE set.

Staring daggers

This bee was just waiting for me to do one false move today. I didn't though. Gotta get the shot. I respected his space...he respected mine. I could feel his stare though.

Me

There's no good reason why I took a photo of myself during this assignment to photograph an extremely large family reunion, but I don't need a good reason, that's one reason I love photography.

Swimming

This was from a lifeguard competition today in Port Huron.

animals

I've never met a camera shy goat and this one was no exception. That's a buffalo on the left and it couldn't care less.

Blizzard

Sorry for all the in-car photos but that's where I'm at most of the time. If there's anything better than a Chocolate Extreme Blizzard like this one I had today, I've yet to find it. ok, I'm sure there're better things out there, but it was real good. And yes, that drip at the bottom of the spoon landed on my shorts.

Demolition

It's been a while since I've photographed a good 'ol fashioned demolition derby. The mud was flying everywhere so it was a nice break to go in the pit area and find people working on their cars. For some reason it makes me feel good to see people working on these cars that, to me, are beyond hope in so many ways.

Downtown

This was as I was driving home last night through the bad streets of downtown PH.

talkin'

This fella approached me from across the street and said he saw me earlier but I "dusted" him, which I thought was a cool term that I'm sure will find it's way into my vocabulary. It's pushing 80 degrees in this photo and this guy's got on a jacket and, as I'm told, Dora the Explorer wristbands. Anyway, he asks how I'm doing and I said, "busy". He says, "me too. Jimmy Carter, Star Trek and New York." So right there I was confused. Then he asks my name (Keith), my sign (Sagittarius), what state I'm from (Michigan) and the year I graduated High School ('97). I answered because I was so intrigued. So then he said, "Oh wow, you're a KSM97, I havn't met a KSM97 in a long time." I told him I had a job to do and that I had to leave... then we parted ways.

Aerosmith !

The boys from Aerosmith were rockin' in Sarnia, Ontario for Rogers Bayfest and they didn't dissapoint. I was allowed to shoot the first three songs from in front of the stage but once I left I still stuck around for a couple songs. Steven Tyler's pants had eyeballs on each butt cheek. So if anyone needs Christmas ideas for me, try and find those pants..... jk.

Classics

This fella had some awesome classic cars. The one he's pulling out of the garage here is a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente that he was restoring to give to his wife for their anniversary.

Dandelion

My mom often tells me how she used to pick these so my grandparents could make dandelion wine. I've never tried it but I've always wanted to. I guess this photo is just my tribute.
