44 Years....WOW!

There are times when you get to do some things that really make your head spin, well this past weekend my best friend asked if I would make some photos of his dad's retirement. His dad was retiring from CertainTeed afters 44 years of work without a single day missed......44 years is longer than I've been on this earth and to have never missed a day of work. Way to Eli !

Enjoy your retirement.

Out From the Snow

Although we are in the midst of a cold spell rivaling "The Day After Tomorrow", I was able to thaw the machine gun out and go shoot some high school basketball. The RaySouth Cardinals hosted Hickamn Mills and at first it was lookinh like a blowout but turned into an interesting game and I think I made some good pictures.

Back from Holiday Break!

We'll I'm back from my holiday vacation and ready to shoot up the world(camera talk). Looking at my schedule I have basketball and some some folks want family portraits, stay tuned and I hope this New Year brings all the thing your heart desires!

A Little Roundball Action !

As the school year moves along, I have now started shooting basketball, it's my first venture into this sport but I can tell it will be fun. I just have to separate celebrating when something exciting happens......!

So Close !

They say all good things must come to end and that may be true but they tell you that it felt pretty bad when it happens. That is the emotion I got from Raytown South cardinals on Friday night when they failed to make it to the state finals in hopes on avenging that last second lost.

Cardiac Cardinals

The Raytown South Cardinals added a new wrinkle to the teams resume, the ability to give every fan watching a heart attack. This past Saturday they faced the Nixa Eagles on their home field in the quarterfinals of the state championship tournament. The Nixa Eagles kept the high powered Cardinal offense in check for most of the game and gave me concern that this years season may come to end. But Jerrick Walton had other plans, he was the one part of the Cardinals offense the Eagles had no answer for. He ripped off chunks yardage every time he touched ball, powering the Cardinals to 3 touchdowns and the single most exciting play I have seen in high school football.

With 7 seconds left in a tied 15 - 15 game, Raytown South had the ball on the Eagles 39 yard line, Quarterback, Dennis Tanner was flushed out of the pocket scrambling all over looking for an open receiver. In an attempt to get the ball off he was hit by a Nixa defender, causing the ball to be popped straight up in the air were it was almost intercepted by a Nixa defender and came down to Jerrick Walton, who side step a tackle stepped out of another, gained several block with a crushing one headed for the left sideline and beat the Nixa defense to the end zone for the game-winning touchdown in a 21-15 victory.
