Sports Weekend Madness
With the exception of a few feature assignments, the agenda this weekend was centered around sports assignments. From Friday Night Lights (regional quarterfinals), to Saturday's state field hockey tournament and the Ohio State football game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. This Sunday, I ended my work weekend at the Value City Arena where the Ohio State Buckeyes basketball team took on the Walsh Cavaliers in an exhibition game.
Though Buckeye football is for sure an incredible experience, I think I had the most fun shooting field hockey for the first time. Still trying to figure out why they blow the whistle so often but continue playing. Using the strobes at Value City Arena was also really sweet.
Here are some of my favorite frames:
