Action Photo


This is my action photo for today its a high school football game here at Green Valley High School in Henderson against Silverado High School. We all know that football is one of the most physical demanding sports in the world to two a days practices everyday the constant training during the season it takes a toll on the body but its all worth it when game time gets closer. Pictured here is young trying to evade tacklers to gain those valuable yards for a 1st down to get team back in the game in which he did. When I took this photo I could the face of the young man as he ran for his life. He was surrounded by  the opposing side from it looked he wasn't going to get nothing from this play but he did he evaded everyone and scored a touchdown. I f i dent tell you that this picture would just another football picture but with that back story it becomes something else it becomes a picture of triumph and the will to do anything for the win and thats why I picked this to be my action shot for this week.

Eoc Week 3: Where am I now and Where do I want to be?

You ask most twenty three year olds about their future saving money isn't going to come up if it does its probably the last thing they talk about. Because lets face young people right now are worried about their financial future. We all want to live young while we can and when we reach thirty thats when we think about those grown up things. But the post isn't about money its about where am I now and where do I want be in five to ten years time. What do I have to do to get to my personal and professional goals because I don't wont to be in Las Vegas no more than three years after school is done. My main goal after school is move overseas to Europe and begin shooting sports either in England or Holland and hopefully get a job photography Formula One and Moto GP for a living. The reason I picked three years is I think that would be good time to save enough money to move to my destination and be fairly young still. Am currently not saving towards my goal even though I should and to be honest with you I don't know why and if I keep this mind set I won't reach that goal. Other things are popping in the way you can say (distractions). Now another question was asked RETIREMENT? That got me thinking am 23 years old should I be thinking about 401k or retirement plans? Part of me says yes but the Buddhist in me says do worry about 40 years from now worry about today and be awake today. Both sides present good reasons I want to be prepared but I want to live in the now not the future or else I will miss out on the now. So my solution to this is take it year by year have small financial goals that I can attain and reach and go from there.With plan its a win either way and I like to win.
