Yesterday it finally hit me..I’m getting older.  Now, I don’t want to admit that or do I “feel” older, but seeing the kids I watched growing up now becoming young adults right before my eyes, I knew it was happening.  Having a son in High School sports right now and very active, I have been around the great people of Wilsonville and on all sides of athletics.

Last year I was shooting a lot of sports photography for the Wilsonville Spokesman and Canby Herald, and this year slowed down on that as I’m shooting a bunch of other projects.  However, the moment I know it’s “Friday Night Lights” and Homecoming the Canon comes out!

Homecoming is special in all schools and I got the call from a parent (and ended up doing it for more) to attending the assembly and shoot some of the Homecoming Court since some parents couldn’t be there.  I dropped whatever I was doing and obliged.  I was lucky enough to photography the beautiful Princess Brianna, whom I’ve know for years through our families.  As luck would have it, her Price, Ryan, I’ve watched grow up with my son as they both played sports together since the third grade.

It was a fun time photographing them in the dimly lit gymnasium, then later going home to edit, process, and print so I could take them to the game on Friday.  After passing out packets of photo’s from earlier, I shot Brianna, and other kids I knew through the years of attending events.  It’s a great community to raise a family and the people are very special.  Here are some of the pics from the events.

You know what of those days you really feel as if you made somebody’s day…well today was one of those days.

Tonya and I had just parked the truck at the store when I noticed a black purse laying on the ground. When I mentioned it she said, “No way” but there it was…confirmed lost purse. I picked it up and we both headed for the Customer Service counter. I decided to have her carry it because it just didn’t feel right in my rugged hands :)

We stood in line and when the customer service rep asked if she could help us and Tonya said, “Yes, we found this purse in the parking lot.”. You could have heard a pin drop as at least 10 people all looked at us. Both clerks smiled an said thank you very much, and a gentleman behind us said, “Wow, that was very nice” and just shook his head in disbelief. It made us feel good and I know the owner will definitely breath a sign of relief.

Besides that, I like to use my powers for good not evil.
