Friday was Veteran’s Day. It was also the morning of the NCAA Southeast Regional Cross Country Championships. I won’t bore you with the details, but through some brief communication earlier in the week, I was hired by Middle Tennessee State, and FGCU to shoot the meet for them. In addition, Auburn ended up wanting to pay me for a few photos of their lead lady too.

I was pleased with what I shot. Getting a different perspective helped me get some new/different shots of FSU as well.
Then today, just for kicks and giggles, I headed out to shoot a bit of the FSU/UGA softball game that was here in town…
