Indians Game (The Plain Dealer Part Two)

The third day at The Plain Dealer we had an opportunity to shoot the Indians Game, with Chuck Crow! I was really really really excited about this, not because I love sports, but who knows when I'll get the chance to do this again. The PD even let Maureen and I use some of their long glass! 

I took a lot of pictures, and didn't really know what I was doing because I had never shot baseball before. But this is what I came up with. I realized a third of the way into the game, that the pitcher and batter were boring. I started looking for more things in the outfield. Definitely not my best pictures, but I don't think they are completely horrible, especially since I haven't shot baseball. 

Just a little side note. I met with Santiago Lyon at the Associated Press when I was in New York City for my birthday. He said a lot of things I expected like I was missing sports and news in my portfolio. He liked a lot of pictures that no one else likes, and didn't like pictures that everyone else does. Everyone has different opinions. But he gave me some great story editing advice. And he wasn't horrified with my portfolio, (and he would say if he was) He said keep trying and maybe I'll succeed and maybe I won't, but if I don't try, I'll never know. He told me to call him in September so he can look at my portfolio again. I'm really thankful for the time he is willing to give to me!
