Lately, my new interest has become action shots.  I started out just taking them for my friends during their games, but then I realized that I should probably give them to the yearbook to put in the book if they wanted.  Well... they did. And now I have been hired to take all of the sports pictures for all three seasons.  I get a free yearbook out of it though, so it must be a good deal.  My dad has been trying to convince me to make a business out of it and start selling the actions shots to the kids and/or their parents.  It seems like a good idea, I just need to figure out how I will get people to know that I do this and how I have to break the news that their pictures won't just be a generous gift anymore... they'll have to pay me for them.  Anyways, here are some of the best shots I've gotten so far.

P.S.  Volleyball is by far the hardest to take pictures of.

These last few days in class have been filled with time using the scanner.  Some of us took a more elegant approach to make the photos look beautiful and majestic, but others (like myself) shows to make a creepy and scary composition.  My goal, whether accomplished or not, was to make it look as if I was trapped inside of the scanner or whatever surface the viewer thinks it is.  Personally, I think I accomplished both a creepy look and a trapped look.  This probably has been one of my favorite projects that I've done in any photography class.
