APAD 34: A day late and an image short

"Denver's Jessica Lopez, of Venezuela, performs a Yurchenko full layout on vault during session two of the NCAA Gymnastics Championships at Stegeman Coliseum on the University of Georgia campus Thursday, April 24, 2008 in Athens, Ga. Lopez scored a 9.800 on the event but failed to qualify for All-American status."

Well I failed to post an image from yesterday, Saturday the 26th, and I'm really disappointed in myself because of that. Friday night I went out to live up the Atlanta night life with my cousin Erick and we got home so late that we decided to just stay up until I went to the airport. As a result I was exhausted all day. I didn't feel like taking out my camera in the airport to make any images. When I finally got home around 2:15pm I messed around on the computer for a few hours and then passed out. A part of me knew that since I was so tired I wouldn't wake up in time to post but I couldn't help it. 

In theory I didn't accomplish my goal to post a new image each and every day but I don't care. I've pushed myself more than ever and I will continue to do so the rest of this quarter.

The image I posted today was from Thursday but it does have some relevance to today. Viva Colorado, The Denver Post's spanish weekly, asked to used some of my images of Jessica Lopez to run with a story they are doing so I thought I would post an image from the remote that I set up at the event. I shot down the line of the vault runway while my remote was shooting at the exact same time from the side of the event. Producing twice as many images from the exact same moment in time make me more efficient as a photographer and that is really important when there are more and more photographers producing the same kinds of images.

Look for something new later today.
