I was asked again by Mr. Sullivan to speak to his class and also to Ms.  Sullivan’s class (they aren’t married but have same last name, isn’t that funny).  Anyways this has become a regular thing for me.  It looks like one day each semester I will be going into their class rooms to teach portraiture photography.  I love it.  I don’t know how good I am at the teaching part, but I do love hanging out with the kids and sharing my photography knowledge with them.

Here are the kids from the two classes…

Here is one of my “models” Barry.  He cracked us up the entire morning.

Thanks Knox students for the fun day of photography!!  Can’t wait to come back this fall.

Gabi had 31 points despite South Central’s tough defense.

I just love these girls….

The Lady Cats beat South Central Tues. night at home during senior night.  I really feel bad for SC because I think they really are a good team but it was senior night and the crowd was huge and it has to be hard to be in the Bobcat Den and face our girls when they are pumped up more then usual.

See everyone at sectional!  GO LADY CATS!

OD beat North Judson girls the other day (JV and Varsity).  This friday night the Lady Cats will welcome the Knox Lady Redskins to the Bobcat Den.  Should be a great game so if you don’t have plans come out and  support the teams.  JV game starts at 6pm.

Back to the OD NJ game… (Defense was key!)

In case you didn’t know the lady cats wear shoe laces that represent a cancer.  They all have had family or friends battle cancer.  The green band was special for that game to honor Christina their manager.

I met Christina Rotering and her mom May 2008 at the OD relay (do you guys remember that??)  She is a super sweet girl and happens to be the manager of the Lady Cats.  She is holding a shoe that was made by the Elizabeth’s Garden team.  It is a replica of the girls shoes.

Before the Varsity game Lou Ann from WKVI radio gave a little talk to the girls.  I went in because well, I am Lou’s body guard.  (inside joke)  It was special to have Lou Ann at the game, she is usually stuck at the station working during the games.  And she loves OD because when she was little she use to go there.  (BTW did ya know I live in the house Lou Ann grew up in, yeah small world)

And someone that is a familiar face to the local sport scene… Harold Welter from WKVI.  He is UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!

Lou Ann wrote alittle article about the game and she posted some pictures too, which by the way are pretty darn good Lou!!  Once we got her setting in her camera she fired away and got some great captures.

Thanks WKVI radio for always doing such a good job and for supporting our local young people.  And kuddos to the Lady Cats for caring about others and wanting to do something nice for someone that is having a rough time.

PS  What happened in the locker room stays in the locker room!
