Photos of the Year (part two)

Okay, so I’ve found out that our blogs have a limit to how many photos you can post to each one, so here is the second part of my “photos of the year”.

If you at all caught one of the Seahawks games this season, you would have figured out that their ground game was stuck on neutral, if not reverse. I would say that most of that had to do with a horrible offensive line, but a little blame could lie with running back Shaun Alexander.

I kept on waiting for the umps to call this game, but they never did and boy did it rain, for the ENTIRE game. I think Sams was wondering if they were going to call the game too.

Not all photos happen on the field of play. Cascade was loosing to Snohomish during the first game of the season and one of their main players came limping to the sidelines. His face summed up the mood of the game as he got a cramp rubbed out.

Oh early season prep football! The light is beautiful for the slightest of moments and the shadows are long. Both good things for nice photos.

Do you like your personal space?

I can’t think of a better player to have his helmet ripped off, because of his hair, and except for a slightly better face on Williams, I really like this frame.

Much to my disappointment, the Oregon football team ran over the Huskies yet again this year. Most of the time, the facial expressions on football players don’t really matter because you can’t see their faces any way, but this was pretty good because Dixon had a huge smile and the horrible visor didn’t obscure it in any way.

Prep kids, silly string, great faces…do you need anything more?
