Passing Down 2012 "Best of the West" Tournament

My first foray into shooting sports (which is suprising, because I am a huge sports fanatic) at the Passing Down 7 on 7 "Best of the West" state finals held at Righetti High School in Santa Maria, California. This tournament featured many elite high school and future college football stars from across the state of California. A huge thanks to Lorenzo J. Reyna, sports writer at the Reedly Exponent and college scout, and Elbert Lee III of Passing Down for allowing me unrestricted acess with my camera at this event.

Passing Down 7 on 7 "Best of the West" Tournament

Had a great day shooting the Passing Down 7 on 7 "Best of the West" football tournament today. Couldn't have had better access for shooting, met some wonderful folks, and just had a great time. For a sports fan like myself, it was heaven. Photos coming very soon.

Collings Foundation Visit - Santa Barbara Airport

The Collings Foundation brought a trio of their World War II vintage aircraft to Santa Barbara Airport. "Witchcraft", a B-24J, "Nine-O-Nine", a B-17G, and "Betty Jane", a TP-51C Mustang provided nice photo ops during their visit.

The Collings Foundation is an amazing organization that prides itself on keeping aviation history alive. If they visit an airport near you, I strongly encourage you to attend and check out what they have to offer.

Until then, click on the thumbnail and enjoy the pics!
