Friday night, under awful lighting, and in light foggy rain, I shot Central at
Londonderry football for
CoachesAid.com. The game itself was pretty entertaining with lots of big plays, but the one thing that stood out is a
Londonderry running back getting a personal foul for 'hurdling' after he
lept over an opposing player who was still standing. I guess that's not allowed (Unless he is on the ground... who knew?). Also of note, the
Londonderry marching band, regarded as one of, if not THE best in the state, was not in attendance due to the VERY light rain. Apparently, the rain would ruin their snazzy uniforms!? Good to know?
Sunday afternoon, in a frezing cold rain (literally, 32 degrees aind raining), I shot the Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk at the ballpark in downtown Manchester. Finding photo op's was not difficult, and the people there were amazing, and extremely outgoing. Covering events like this is always emotional. Having lost a few grandparents and more recently my dad to cancer, and having my mom survive a cancer scare, It hits home. Despite the horrible weather, the concourse at MerchantsAuto.com stadium was packed with participants, many of them survivors, and it really speaks to how important these events are.
