Well it's been a while since I blogged so I think it's time I posted an update. I'm taking 17 hours at GT this semester and I'm working really hard to apply myself and do well at school instead of sitting back and letting school happen to me.

So this was a banquet for a high school football team - american football, that is. Their year had just ended and they were having...
Last night I had the opportunity to shoot some high school basketball - the trouble with not working a conventional job is you have to work nights. So while all my friends hung out and had fun, I sat on a hardwood floor from 4-10 PM and clicked away.
