ISO 2000, 300mm, f/4.0, 1/1600sec Tuesday afternoon I was supposed to referee the Yreka High School boys and girls soccer games. Unfortunately at the last-minute their games were rescheduled.

ISO 100, 85mm, f/5.6, 1/200sec Jeff, Miriam, Ryan, Anita I was pleased to be asked by Anita to take pictures for her and Miriam and their dates for Morp.

Last Wednesday I had the great pleasure to shoot Gabe’s senior photos. He was great to work with and be around.
