A Weekend to Remember




If you couldn’t tell by the many blog posts I have written in the past, I love taking photos at sports events. To be completely honest, I do not really understand much about sports, but I love the energizing atmosphere and the excitement of the game. Maybe it is the cheers on the sidelines or the smell of the concession stand wafting through the air. No matter what sport I am watching, I have fun.

This weekend was quite an interesting one for Ohio Northern athletics. I went to three athletic events to take pictures. It was quite exhausting, but fun at the same time. The first game that I went to was volleyball. They played Otterbein. It was a pretty difficult game for the team, and they lost pretty badly. I have taken so many volleyball pictures lately, so it has been a challenge to find new and creative shots. I got a few that I liked, but it was nothing too impressive like other games I have done. They did win their most recent match against Baldwin Wallace. 

Right after the volleyball game, I ran over to football to get some photos. I have not done any football pictures this year, and this was my last chance to get any since this was the last home game of the season. I was so glad I went because it was an incredible game. Baldwin Wallace was No. 22 in the country, and the Polar Bears defied the odds and beat them. The craziest moments of the game were in the last five minutes. At around the five minute mark, Ohio Northern intercepted the ball. Then, with 1:46 left in the game, the Polar Bears recovered a Baldwin Wallace fumble. Then, our team ran out the game clock and won the game 30-28. I loved taking photos at the game because the celebration photos were amazing. I don’t think I posted that many of the actual game because the celebration shots were so good. 

Then, on Sunday, the men’s soccer team played in the OAC Championship. It was cold and snowing outside, and the game ended 0-0. Ultimately, Ohio Northern lost to penalty kicks. It was an unfortunate loss, but a great game played by the team. 

It was a great weekend of sports photos, but I am looking forward to a break this weekend.

See you next time, 

Evie

    I love how you capture the energy of every game, even the ones that don’t go our way. It truly is so cool to see how much heart you put into your work. What a crazy and exciting weekend for ONU athletics, and you documented it so well. Can’t wait to see what you shoot next—enjoy your well-earned break beautiful!

Practicing My Craft

With all of the craziness that you have seen me blog about these past couple of weeks, I'm sure you are probably expecting an interesting blog I can. I have bad news to tell you. Nothing interesting has happened to me this past week. At least nothing exciting enough for me to share on this blog.  This isn't to say that I've just been sitting around in my dorm room for the past week,  being bored to death. I have been extremely busy with school work and  keeping up with my jobs. In fact, it's been a little bit overwhelming to keep track of everything. I've been trying to relax and have some down time so that I don't completely overwhelm myself with stress. I guess one piece of good news is that I recently learned that I only need to take 15 credit hours next semester. I have been doing 19 credit hours pretty much every semester here, so it'll be nice to just be able to relax and enjoy my final semester at Ohio Northern. Besides, I am probably going to be work...

Thanksgiving Break Festivities

Here we are, getting back in the regular school routine again! It seems like Thanksgiving Break went by way too quickly. I am not ready for school again, nor the end of the semester. It is crazy how the weeks go by so slowly while the semester just flew by.  Overall, the Thanksgiving holiday was very nice. It was pretty quiet since my grandfather was the only family member we hosted. I did a good amount of the cooking and baking this year with my mom. I am not really good in the kitchen, but practice makes perfect! My mom says that the only way to learn how to cook is by continuing to do it. I am honestly not sure how much of a help I truly was, maybe more of a hindrance, but my mom was incredibly patient with me. She showed me how to prepare all the meals and make sure all the consistencies and measurements were correct. A good amount of what my mom does is from memory or learned by experience; there isn’t exactly an exact recipe to follow for some of these things. In the end, the...

A Quick Weekend Trip

I decided to take an unplanned trip home this weekend. this probably doesn't seem like a big deal, and I'm sure that people do this all the time. For me, however, this is quite uncommon. This is actually the first time that I have gone home on my own when there wasn't any formal break. This is my first semester having a car on campus so I have never had the flexibility to do this before. It was honestly a lot of fun to make such a spur of the moment decision. Going home was not without purpose though. First, my family had a nice Halloween bonfire in our backyard. It was just my siblings and my parents, but it was fun to play some cheesy Halloween songs and drink apple cider on our back porch. Well, I did not drink  much of the apple cider because I may or may not have spilled it all over myself when I tripped. Another reason why I went home was because I needed to vote. I honestly forgot about absentee voting, but I prefer to go in person anyways. This was a pretty big elec...
