The other night i did that Lauren Jackson slideshow, that i was talking about. I think the photos were too funny to not share….. Thanks Laurie, for the extra jokes :)

I also just put up the Melissa Ferrick photos. I think thier kinda boring….. Melissa makes alot of interesting faces, but they all came out blurry for me. She also has a charming smile that i couldnt capture either.

I just ordered a advanced digital photography book, so that i can learn the advanced controls on my camera. Would be nice if i could at least get it to stop focusing on the mic, instead of the face.

Storm Open Practice

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson (small)
I’ve only slept 3 hours, but no way in heck was i missing todays storm event. Today was a open practice for Season Ticket Holders. Watching the practice was a lot funner than i thought it would. They played a “game” against a group of guys, that got some cheers from the crowd. (they stopped the game in overtime, but we wouldve won). Then there was a short Q&A chat session, and THEN we got to “meet the team”. Pretty cool affair…..

I didnt utter a peep to the players though. Instead I relished in the fact that i could finally take the players pictures while they were standing still :)
i took a buttload of pictures….. I was mostly just seeing how well the zoom on my camera worked, and at what point would “noise” become an issue. My camera defintally likes to add alot of noise to my shots, so thankfully i dont do any printing.
This picture of LJ was taken from across the arena. The details of her face are washed out…. but i’m still impressed.

today is LJ’s birthday, and i took alot of pics with the small cupcake for her. None of the players wanted to eat it. They had looks on thier faces of both temptation, and horror as they passed it around…..lol i didnt get everyones reaction, but might end up posting the ones that i did.

new camera

Stormin The Lake 2007
my new baby….
I finally have a new camera. One that i can take some decent pictures with. The thing is AWESOME so far. Quick start-up, large movies with zoom, and a whole array of tools to use (and learn!).

So today was “Stormin’ on the Lake”, a WNBA seattle storm kick-off party. I planned on taking a bunch of photos, but nobody was doing anything to take photos of. Oh well…i will soon have a whole summer of games for practice……

and 3 brandi shows in june. Whoot!
(now the trick will be figuring out how to sneak this thing into shows…. its pretty large. Not exactly something i can stick down my pants! Luckily MOST brandi shows dont have a problem with cameras….. its the video they raise a stink about)
