Timbers at Earthquakes

I shot my first MLS game last night at Back Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara on Saturday. At first I did not know what to expect.



I heard from some of my colleges that the light there is TERRIBLE for shooting but I think it is just as bad when shooting basketball... just a bit cooler though.



So any way, I arrived at the stadium about an hour early so I can find parking and get set up since I had never been there before... well at least at the soccer stadium.



After the hassle of finding where I need to park I gathered up my gear and headed inside. Once inside no one seemed to know on where we can and cannot stand so that was a bit of a pain as well.



Once the game started I started shooting.









The Earthquakes came away with the win in the final minutes of the game defeating the visiting team 1-0

Giving back

"Center, Brandy Boman, a homeless woman out of the Palo Alto Invision center, has her hair curled by, left, Emma Klabo, of San Jose, and, right, Aisha White, of Mountain View, on Tuesday at the Place 2b Hair Studio in Santa Clara as part of “Make-Over, Make it Happen.” The event was sponsored by Innvision, a provider of housing and supportive services for homeless women in Silicon Valley."

From a full day of death and negativity today, shooting this assignment made me feel a bit better. The salon along with the homeless shelters got together to give homeless women a make-over.
