South Texas Shooters (Photography That Is!)

It has been a bit of time from the last entry! The time between entries has been full of up’s and down’s, but then what would life be without up’s and down’s, it wouldn’t be life!!

Not going to bother you with the down’s but with the up’s! The one up that came across came today in the form of an article about twin sisters and a coach who happen to be at Texas State University. As those that follow my entries know I have a association with the school and it’s awesome softball program!! My association is not official but one of admiration for the program and the coach’s and athlete’s including parents of the program. What started as just taking a few photos has become a high point in capturing “Dreams Becoming Reality on the Field”! The prime motivation is to preserve those awesome efforts put forth on the field and to capture the smiles, frowns, tears and sweat!

Today I saw and read an article about two of the athlete’s and a coach. (click the link for the full article or copy and paste:

As I was reading the article, I noticed that the accompanying images in the article are moments captured through my lens!! I am proud to have them used in the article to help illustrate the heart and hustle of these sisters (Randi and Sara) and their coach (Cat).

When you see the sisters on the field they faces are filled with determination and fierce focus as well as their coach who is so well know in the world of softball across the world that if you mention the first name “Cat” everyone knows who your talking about!! On the other side of these fierce focused faces are the faces with free heart warming smiles and laughs that can bring sunshine into the darkest of days!!!

I am “Blessed” in many ways, but one of the greatest is that I know these three women and many more through the “Field Where Dreams Become Real!” The photographer in me is also Blessed to have three images displayed on ESPNW accompanying the well written article. Blessed to call these gifted women friends. I always wish them and all the women I have met during my travels at The “Field” the very best in all they do “On and Off” the “Field” wherever they go and whatever they do, today, tomorrow and forever!! That’s why I feel “Blessed”!!!!!!!!!!!!!
