H.S. Basketball


Shot some high school basketball tonight, the first time I've been at a H.S. game where the parents were getting thrown out. It was pretty out of hand. One dad had to hand over his young baby to his wife before he was escorted out of the gym. What a great role model!
Well I made some nice pics I think. Heres one but click the link to see others if your bored.

A Final Good Bye



























Funerals are never easy to attend, photograph or even think about, but today I did attend and photograph one. Lurene K. Collins, 70, of Aurora, IL made her transition to be with the Lord on January 13, 2008. The last name Collins might look familiar to anyone that knows me or reads my blog on a regular basis, that's because Lurene is the mother of one of my best friends, Donnell Collins. When I moved to Aurora I didn't know anyone or have any friends, but Donnell and his family took me in and I soon became "part of the family". Today was a difficult day, watching the Collins family say their last good byes tore my heart apart and it took all I had to keep from breaking down right alongside them. The sight of a grandson kissing his grandmas forehead for the last time, or the sound of a sibling crying out to her deceased sister, makes you realize how short life really is. Lets all try and take more time for our loved ones, life goes by to fast and everyday is a blessing. Please keep the Collins family in your prayers and don't forget to tell your loved ones just how much they mean to you.
