Last weekend I visited my dad to watch the Super Bowl together, and while I was there I took some pictures of his numerous animals, including his new puppy.

He regularly plays frisbee with his adult dog, and I brought my telephoto lens to take pictures of this. Unfortunately, like a dummy, I left it in my car overnight, and it was so cold when I got it out to shoot the next day that it fogged over and was unusable at the time. Whoops. So I did my best with my wide lens.

Then his brand new puppy…

… ornery bengal cat…

 

… and more puppy spam.

No further context necessary. The end.

Last night I was reminded how challenging, but fun, concert photography can be. I took my camera and went to see Reel Big Fish, Suburban Legends, and Mighty Mongo play at the Hawthorne Theater. They played in the opposite order than how I just listed them, however.

But first, burritos with friends before the show.

Finally, Reel Big Fish.

Last Saturday we had our championship game at the Arizona Fall League. The Surprise Saguaros defeated the Mesa Solar Sox 2-0, and I took plenty of photos of the game.

It was a midday game and sometimes overcast and sometimes sunny, so my colors are a bit all over the place at times. Also I’m sometimes bad at editing, so there’s that.

That’s it for photographing baseball this year. I am now back in Oregon and preparing for the winter weather.

Last night was the AFL Fall Stars Game, which is essentially our All-Star Game here. It’s a huge event, so I tried to take some pictures. So here we go.

That’s it for now. More baseball photos to come over the final two weeks of the season.

I am back in Phoenix for another season of the Arizona Fall League, which meant another season of breaking out my camera to take baseball photos.

Without further ado, here are a bunch of photos of baseball players from the past few weeks. No captions really necessary.

All of the following photos were taken by Regina Campos, as she visited during our inaugural Bowman Hitting Challenge.

More photos to come over the rest of the season.
