Chillin with Mr. Curtis Baker......

So right now im helping a HS student with his Senior Project, he decided to do photography as his project and asked me if i could show him some different techniques. I of course said yes cus it sounded like fun, plus Curtis and i go way back to the days when i was a counselor for 5th grade camp ( yeah i know, parents actually trusted me with their kids...scary ) and he was a student. We went to shoot a wrestling match at Vista HS, i had never shot the sport so it was fun to try something new. After that we went to Oside Harbor and did some night shooting, it was fun to do something i love and pass on some of the knowledge. It was fun to hang out with Curtis and just chill and talk while we waited for the camera to finish doing its thing and just be able to catch up and see how hes doing.........hes a cool guy. Looking forward to the next time we do this, the following shots are mine. I will post his wrestling shots later when we get together to process them, but i will post his night shots in this post. Sooooooo heres they are. Enjoy!!!!
