Photo of the Week for December 14th to December 20th
It was a pretty busy week for me this past week lots to choose from and I feel I came out with a good take for the week. Also I feel this POTW is one of my favorites and many of you will know why. I don’t get to shoot track and field often but I do have a great respect for it. I know what it takes to become a great runner, hurdler, high jumper etc. Lots of work and dedication kind of like photography in order to get better you need to put in a ton of work!
On to the Photo of the Week, as I said one of my favorites of the year.

Looking forward to the holiday and the New Year!! Hope you all have a great holiday and can’t wait for 2010!!! Before that though you might be able to see me at the #1 UConn Huskies vs the #2 Stanford Cardinal Women’s basketball game on Wednesday December 23rd. I’ll be on the floor covering the action! Also have a few more things up my sleeve but will leave that till after the Christmas Holiday.
