Picking up where I had left off on the previous post, last weekend was a little hectic. I spent four nights in a row in the Qwest Center shooting the season finale for the basketball team, the Stampede, the season opener for the arena football team, the Burn, and two playoff games for the AAA hockey team, the Steelheads.
Unfortunately I didn’t really come away with anything that’s worth writing about, however, I did happen to shoot a couple of other interesting assignments which were more fruitful.
This photo was taken on Sunday afternoon at Boise State during a memorial tribute to local legend and cultural icon Jimmy Jausoro. These little performers were just a few who were dressed in their Basque regalia to perform traditional Basque dances.
After logging another full day on Monday April 23rd, I packed a bag with some clothes and set off on a five-hour drive straight north to spend the weekend with my sister and brother-in-law in Moscow, Idaho. As I traveled up highway 55 through such wonderful towns as Horseshoe Bend and McCall I was blown away by the beautiful country I was passing through. Gorgeous canyons with screaming whitewater broken by the occasional sleepy 200-person town with charming Café’s, fruit stands and self-serve fuel stations.
So after spending most of Wednesday recovering from Tuesday night the weekend came and went and it was time to head back to work. Of course I couldn’t make the nearly 300 mile trip without making a brief stop off at Hoot’s Café, which lies on off the Salmon River by only a couple hundred feet and is closest to the booming metropolis of White Bird, Idaho which has a population of 138. Hoot’s features wonderful breakfast cakes with homemade syrup and tasty toast with homemade jam. It was a great stop.
I returned to work on Thursday feeling energized looking forward to getting back to business. I ended up shooting a college softball game, a community art show and a high school baseball game. I was able to come away with a couple of photos that I liked, my favorite of which being the diving attempt to stop a line drive by a shortstop posted below.
So it’s Saturday, which means sports a plenty. Today I’ll be running between Boise State Tennis, a Body Building Competition in Boise and rounding out the day with a Boise Burn game at the Qwest Center. Or at least that’s the plan.
