Breia Brissey - Big Event 2008

OU's annual community service event brought us to south-side OKC. Our task: repainting addresses on driveways. Not too bad I must say. Again, just like our day out for tennis, the weather was awesome and the work wasn't all too intensive. I mostly carried a shovel and watched as people did things. 

An all-around badass, John Akingbola. John shot for the Daily that day. John owns both a Canon 40D and 30D, one on a wide angle and the other on his 70-200 2.8. I wish to have a similar set up with my equipment someday, but I'm in the middle of saving. My goal: One Nikon D300 with vertical grip and Tokina 11-16 2.8 and Nikon D200 with vertical grip on 80-200 2.8. We'll see if that ever happens.

Briana paints.

Since we forgot to take a group photo, my reflection off of LP's sunglasses is the only documentation that I actually attended.

Joy paints with technique.

LP and Kelsey argue over a game they fashioned in our boredom. Who knew enamel could be so fun!

Some time to mess with my SB-600 on remote. We used stencils to spray paint the address numbers.

OU Tennis

This semester seems to be "go to OU athletic events" semester. I've probably gone to more games, meets and matches than any other year. Friday marked my first visit to OU Tennis. Thankfully the weather was awesome, despite it being a bit chilly and I didn't have my coat. My 50 cent hotdog was pretty sweet, too.

Kelsey pointed out that not a single guy on the men's tennis team is from the U.S. Most are eastern European.

I didn't take my shooting too seriously since this was on my leisure.

This one would be nicer if the guy in the wheelchair weren't in frame. Oh well.

Kelsey sports her new hat.

The sun got pretty low since the matches started at 5. Loooong shadows.

"Breia Brissey" (Big Event) photos coming tomorrow.

Lend Me a Tenor

OU School of Drama's production of "Lend Me a Tenor"

Standard assignment. Nothing really outstanding to report. The lights seemed to be more amber on the camera than to the naked eye, so I shot the whole thing on incandescent WB. Most came out perfect. In a few scenes, two characters were next to each other, both wearing rich orange fabrics so that threw off the WB a little more. All in all, it was pretty standard.

I really liked this show. I recommend seeing it! Pretty darn funny.
