INBF Bodybuilding Competition

The last event I had on Saturday, October 9th was a bodybuilding competition. I had a client that was looking for professional competition photos of his wife. The event was four hours long and at Greece Olympia H.S. There were only a few moments to shoot since there are many different categories and levels. Anyways here are a few that I liked from the shoot. There is no gallery for this client.

The End of Winter Basketball

Catching up on the winter season and I will start with basketball. Here are the last basketball games of the season that I covered in February. The first boys game of February was not a very well played game by either team. It was February 3rd, and the Gates boys took on the Spencerport Rangers. The Rangers were up for most of the game. Gates fought back late to squeak this one out 48-44. Click here for the rest of the pics...

Two days later, February 5th, the Spartans took on Greece Athena at home. Both teams started this game off slowly in the first quarter. Athena started hitting their shots and finding the open man. Greece pulled away in the second half as their big man underneath really played well. The Trojans won 59-51. Click here for the rest of the pics...

On February 8th, Greece Olympia boys came to the Gates-Chili field house. This was a very even paced game that Olympia took over in the last few minutes. Great action by both teams. I was impressed by a couple very athletic kids on Olympia that I had not heard about. Olympia beat Gates 61-55. Click here for the rest of the pics...

It was the girls turn on February 9th as the Pittsford Sutherland Knights took on the Gates-Chili Spartans. The Gates-Chili girls showed that they could play with anyone Tuesday night as they defeated a great Sutherland team. The Spartans kept O'Keefe from scoring big in the second half and made their foul shots to win 63-58. Click here for the rest of the photos...

I traveled to Rush-Henrietta on February 12th for a great boys game between Fairport and RH. I scheduled this game a couple weeks ago because I had an opening and knew it was going to be a great game. I wasn't disappointed as both teams carried leads at one time and battled back and forth late. Taggart for Fairport showed his stuff with 31 points and McClain was huge inside. The end came when RH could not finish in the last few minutes and the Red Raiders pulled away. Click here for the rest of the pics...

On February 15th, 2010 I drove to Oakfield-Alabama for girls senior night. I was asked to shoot the girls senior night at OA just like the boys last week. The game took place in the elementary school and is a little smaller than the high school gym. The Oakfield girls were able to get the ball inside and score consistently as they beat Alexander 46-40.

The last basketball game of February was the girls senior night at Gates-Chili as they took on the Brockport Blue Devils. Brockport stayed tough with Gates early as both teams struggled to keep the lead. The Blue Devils hit a flurry of three's to pull ahead and the inside girls worked hard to keep that lead. Gates girls lost on senior night 48-37. Click here for the rest of the photos...

Soccer, Churchville Style

I was asked to shoot a few Churchville-Chili boys soccer games this fall by a proud parent of one of the players. It was my first time shooting at the Saints home field. I was impressed, hopefully Gates can have something like their stadium soon. Anyways, I arrived early and took some warm-up shots and tried to get some of the Saints players in action. The game put the Saints up against the Greece Olympia Spartans who came into the contest without a win and two losses.

The first half was a battle and both teams fought hard for control. Here two players go up strong on a goalie kick.

Ball control created many opportunities for me to get great "battle for the ball" shots

As the sun sets and creates a orange glow on this Olympia player's face, he hurls the ball just past me into player traffic.

I only stayed for the first half because of time issues but Churchville did have many chances to score but with missed shots and some solid goaltending they were kept scoreless. Here Dino Banitskos (8) dribbles past a Spartans defender to get a shot on goal.

After I left, Churchville scored a goal 15 minutes into the second half and went on to win 1-0. Hopefully next game I will catch a goal and celebration from the team.
