Month: September 2013

We're going to keep with the sports theme again for today's entry in the Picture of the Day Challenge between my wife, Linda, and me. Brown County's boys' varsity soccer team advanced to 5-1 on the season with a 4-2 win over Western Indiana Conference rival Sullivan. Here, Eagles senior Leeland Kesler fights for control of the ball with a Golden Arrows defender in the [...]

Although we are three weeks into high school football season, I attended and shot my first game of the 2013 season tonight. Shooting sports is probably my favorite type of photography, and has been since I bought my first professional camera back in high school almost 35 years ago.

Margison) Earlier today, my wife, Linda—the writer—challenged me to something of a family duel:  She will blog every day during the month of September if I will create a new photo each day.
