I Heart U Telephoto Lens

So, while I was in Mexico, I got this email from Lois, one of my ACP advisors, and it was about a volunteer opportunity doing a newsletter for something about batman baseball. (Okay, so that's not what it said but it went in one ear out the other because it had very little meaning to me at the time, so if you had asked me, that's probably what I would have said.)
Anyway, during some of my valued 50-peso-an-hour minutes, I read this email and thought to myself, oh my, another volunteer op.
Oh volunteer ops. You are the bane of my existence because, one that seems to be all that's available for students (and all the paid jobs seem to be out in the interior - like, screw the interior,) and two, because you are so god damn useful that I feel wretched when I don't have the time or money to do them.
So I was beginning to feel disgruntled at my loss of a networking opportunity, and great portfolio pieces when I realized, hey I'm not in school anymore, running around like a chicken with my head cut off, trying to catch up with ACP's absurd amount of work (I mean, for 2 years it practically takes your soul that place.)
So I responded and expressed that I was interested. Suddenly 5 months later I was booking time off work for something that I still was kind of unsure of what the name was.

THE 2010 BANTAM GIRLS CANADIAN FASTPITCH CHAMPIONSHIPS

(see? It's a lot to remember)

If I can think of one word that would some up my time there it would have to be....

RAD-TABULOUS

(I couldn't pick between rad and fabulous. And no, I don't know where the T game from)

Seriously, what's not to like about these things:

1. Girls that can windmill the shit out of their arms and throw a ball so hard it would probably kill you if it hit you in the face.
2. Free burgers
3. 7-8 hours of direct sun a day - hell ya i'm a Brownbaby.
4. Getting to take pictures of sports all day and interview coaches and then get to tell people it's your JOB. (okay sure it was only my job for 6 days, and I didn't get paid for it - but it was my JOB to get the JOB done. So there.)
5. Walking around with a media pass and feeling special.
6. Experiencing an amazing National event where hundreds of dedicated girls get together to show their talent of have fun. 

Yeah. Pretty awesome.

Celebration After a Grandslam

Celebrations After Winning Gold

I now have a new respect for fastpitch soft ball. I had a fantastic time learning about the sport and I left not only with some terrific photography and publishing portfolio pieces, but also with a feeling of inspiration. It really is touching to watch girls and coaches who have worked so hard and come so far, putting their hearts into their game.


Congratulations to all the teams who traveled to Victoria for the nationals. You all deserve it.

BOOK RELEASE!

 I can't believe how undeniably wicked Fotoprint was to work with (shoutout!!!) Like I was expecting some major photo adjustments neccessary after the first prrof, but their colors were UNBELIEVABLE. Serisouly exactly what I saw on screen for the most part, which is awesome awesome. I love fotoprint. *worships and grovels at feet.*

First inside page. Copyright info at the bottom makes me feel so special. lol

289 bucks later it was all worth it. Selling them at 19.95 a piece, and it looks like I already have people interested in grabbing a copy, which I REALLY appreciate.

MDMedia Poster

It's a rough, but it's where I'm at so far. I basically used this poster project as a chance to brainstorm my logo, slug line and business name. :)
