I love this shot above.

My nephew had his 9th birthday on Friday and we ended up going out to bowl a couple of games to celebrate! Typical for me, I couldn’t put my camera down. I came home with several images that I am looking forward to sharing on my blog.

I have loved bowling as long as I can remember. As a young girl, I would get on a plane and travel to visit my grandparents in Lawton, Oklahoma during school breaks. My grandmother bowled ALL THE TIME. She was a fiery, no-holds-bar woman named Hazel. While she would bowl, I would watch her in awe as I chowed on bowling alley food. Nice, huh? Actually, the more I think about it, my mom was an avid bowler as well.

A little family history for you…my grandmother (below) was in the Oklahoma Bowling Hall of Fame. Seriously, I didn’t even know they had that! Don’t get me wrong though…the awesome bowler gene CLEARLY did NOT pass to me. But I think it’s pretty cool nonetheless.

I have decided that I will be doing some theme shots every Saturday. I will be posting basketball images until Sam’s season ends. I am looking forward to working on my sports photography skills and bringing you all some interesting shots at the same time.

I managed to get this shot before about 5 balls almost took me out (and my camera!) as the kids practiced before the game. I might need a casing for my camera for protection! Just kidding….sorta.

BTW, Sam made a basket today and it was awesome!
