I owe these guys a lot of thanks. They brought all us all along for a fun ride on hot summer nights. Easily one of the best coaching experiences I’ve ever had. The guys I coached with were great. The parents of these young kids were great. It was just fun and that was because everybody involved was just there to have a good time.

Since I coach, I don’t often get to take any pictures of them in action and nothing was different on this night. Once the game started I had to hand the camera over to my wife. I did take the pregame time to snap off a few shots of the kids though.

This is my son looking just a little focused. Or he’s sick of me taking his picture….

The crew for the Captain’s went all out too. They had us up on the Jumbotron. Too bad they didn’t tell us how to put out team names on the board. I guess Bay Village and Strongsville played the day before us.

And that’s me coaching first base. Most of my duties consisted of yelling “run, Run, RUN!”. Occasionally, I’d switch it up to “Go! GO! GO!”

Thanks again to all the parents, coaches and kids involved. It was a great season!

Had a chance to score some sweet seats to last nights Tribe game. Sat in the third row on the first base line. Really great place to shoot from. Only downside was all the Boston fans in the same section! :p

Last year I started sponsoring some of the city sports teams. That’s my boy wearing #7 and sporting LoC on his shirt. This year, I’ve got one soccer team, a softball team, and a baseball team. It’s a great way to help out the city leagues and my kids think it’s pretty cool to be on Dad’s team!

I don’t get to shoot the games much since I also coach soccer and baseball. Softball I’m in the clear so there may be a whole lot of pictures from my daughter’s games showing up!

The shot above was a happy accident. Pap-pap just happened to take a seat while I was setting up the lighting and firing off a test shot. The shot below is what I had planned to capture.

The Mass began outside around a bonfire and then proceeded into the sanctuary. The beginning is all done in darkness and candlelight. Wonderful candlelight.

As I was changing lenses from the shot above I stopped in a corner of the church and noticed this woman sitting alone with her candle and couldn’t resist capturing this moment of her.
