Joliet Vs Bolingbrook Saturday, September 8, 2012
Joliet Vs Bolingbrook on Saturday, September 8, 2012Happy Birthday KingSportsPhotography!
It has been an interesting year. I have enjoyed submitting photos to Maxpreps.com and working for F8 Images and Developed Sports. Earlier this year I also had the privilege of covering the La Grange 5K race.
Tonight I take a step forward shooting my first assignment for Sun-Times Media Group. I think I have come a long way in one year and look forward to growing the business and shooting more sports in the coming years. I would like to thank all of the photojournalists and sports photographers that have helped me along the way. I am happy to be a part of the great community of Photographers. Here is to year 2!!
Life is like a Camera
Life is like a Camera, just focus on what's important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don't work out, just take another shot.
