Logan's Basketball Game

Kelly asked me to take pictures of her son's basketball game. Her son attends West End and they were playing against our school - Southern Middle. I'm admittedly not the best at events like this, but I got a few candids that I liked!

The boys were getting tired...

He made this shot!

Anticipation at it's best!

They beat Southern Middle by one point!

Falling Behind...

I've gone through a dry spell in the recent few months and so I've been neglecting my blog. Sadly, those not connected to the Facebook world, have been unable to view what I've been doing. Since I have left the school year behind, I thought I'd update ya'll on my pride and joy - my photography!

I have also be preoccupied with the obstacles of my life. My faith is growing weaker, and I'm feeling farther from God than I have in some time. Though I will say that my wonderful husband has been fully supportive of my journey and I'm sure he will continue to be as I continue making hard decisions. I almost lost my best friend in a struggle between selfishness and growth. Luckily, I quickly learned the art of scrappiness and my pride is just now coming back. Southern Pines and the Sandhills area is not our ideal area, so we are trying to move forward, but the economy doesn't allow us that luxury easily. Along with my faith, I have lost confidence in myself and my talent as a photographer. As always, I began to compare myself to others in this field and realized that my training is lacking, but support from friends and family and the realization that life IS too short, is going to keep my head above the water and proud of my every accomplishment.

As I said, my husband has been extremely supportive. Admittedly at first, he wasn't too sure about the huge leap I was making from teaching to photography, but he has really come around! I'm building my collection of equipment and knowing how hard I've been working to save up for everything, he gave a "few" extra dollars to help buy my new 35mm lens and flash! What a sweety! He makes me so happy:)

After this post, I'll be posting a lot of the ones I have not since falling behind.

Please pray for us that we are able to move forward from the Sandhills and God Bless you all!
