For the past week, my life has really revolved around photos. Both taking them and using them.
First let me give you my photos of the week. I am really trying to improve my photography skills and my sports photography has definitely gotten better. As I have shared before, I spend a lot of time photographing soccer. Below is possibly my crowning glory.
Thanks to that goalie for making this photo possible.
And, with slightly more editing, this is how a Filipino, an Englishman, a Costa Rican and a Cambodian celebrate the goal of the smallest member of the team.
I also get to play a bit of soccer these days. Our Deaf Amazons, women's football team, has a tournament coming up next month, so we get together every Sunday for a practice game. I can handle every part of this game except the whole kicking the ball into the goal thing...
This past week, I also photographed an event on LGBT-Christian relations. It was organized by a fellow Maryknoll Lay Missioner and had a great turn out! This is my favorite photo. His shirt says, I am who I am in Khmer. In door, low-light photography is definitely a challenge given the caliber of my camera but I am learning.
In addition to being on-call to take many photos, this past Saturday I was the co-curator of a photo exhibition (featuring the photos of people far more skilled than I). This was a lesson in having faith. I am a logistics worry-wort. I over-analyze everything, think and rethink and really constantly need a team with which to share ideas. There are back-up plans for back-up plans. An attendee spontaneously bursts into flames, yup, probably had a plan for that...
You can check out the online version of the exhibition below.
