My schedule was so busy today I had to take a day off
from my day job. All day at Wailea shooting tennis (9am – 330pm). Then off to
Maui High to shoot the Lady Lunas softball team in their MIL Tournament game
against Maui High from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Then drive to Lahainaluna to shoot the
Lunas’ volleyball team home finale/senior night against Lanai from 6:30pm to
whenever. Not much rest after that because there would be tennis all day the following
day. I’m going to be so dark after this weekend from all this outdoor shooting!
I was prepared. I had downloaded the brackets and planned
out who I was going to shoot and when. I
also allotted some time to shoot my niece, Rachel, who plays doubles for
Baldwin (the only exception I make for shooting Baldwin sports is my niece). I
brought a little cooler with water, diet coke and some snacks to sustain me
during this marathon shooting day. I had a hat and long sleeve shirt and jeans
to protect me from the sun. My iPod Touch was charged up and ready to keep me
company for the entire day.
