Special Olympics Fall Classic

Recently I got an email from Working with Artists asking photographers to volunteer to photograph the Special Olympics Fall Classic. I decided to photograph volleyball...a game which I am VERY familiar.(My daughter played club and varsity volleyball.)

The games were not unlike true Olympic games. Time was kept, rules in place and scores were recorded. The athletes were dedicated, focused, and competitive! It was my privilege to photograph such a worthwhile event and I am richer for the experience. So is my daughter who volunteered that day too!

Here are a few images from the day...





This athlete saw me with the camera and just HAD to strike this pose! What a guy!





This athlete had the most engaging smile...

Fabulous Location

I am always on the look-out for interesting locations. I recently "found" a wonderful site filled with Colorado nature at its best, an interesting red barn and old stone home. I'll have to do some research as to the history...it must have been a homestead; there's a dilapidated outhouse nearby!

Suggested this location for a family shoot...They were so up for the adventure! The girls were super models that day! They brought great outfits, attitudes and energy; it couldn't have been more perfect! Here are a just a few...

Gorgeous girls

Here is an image I took while visiting with Rachel and her daughter. Two stunning ladies! BTW Rachel took the photograph of me for my blog.
