Making Something Out of Nothing

Today, I was supposed to be on assignment for Sports Star Magazine covering the St. Ignatius - Sacred Heart Cathedral high school baseball game. The game was originally supposed to be played on Tuesday at AT&T Park as part of Dante Benedetti Baseball Classic. But because it was raining on Tuesday, it was rescheduled for today.

After work, I walked down to the ballpark. When I got there, the gates were closed and after asking a Giants employee, I discovered that there was no baseball game on the schedule at the ballpark.

If I had checked MaxPreps.com before I left the office, I would have noticed that the game was relocated to Marchbanks Park in Daly City, about two blocks from the BART station.

So Since I was in the area, I walked around to McCovey Cove.



Then I took the scenic root back to BART.

Hey, batter, batter, batter...swing!

This past Saturday, I went to the Cal Baseball Classic at AT&T Park to watch a couple games. The first game, between Louisiana and UC Santa Barbara started at 11am. At 12, My buddy Matt showed up and we went and sat behind home plate. After that game ended, we were able to move to the first row directly behind home plate for the Long Beach State - University of San Francisco game.

I hadn't shot baseball in at least a year, but I felt like I came back with some shots I was happy with.

Pier to Nowhere

I've always been fascinated by the long pier at the Berkeley Marina, so whenever I go there, I hope for interesting light. Today, the sun was shining through the clouds and reflecting brightly off the water. I felt the diptych was an effective way to show the pier from both sides.
