Doing a little freelance work with Hill Country News

The Hill Country News is a local paper that covers mostly the Williamson country (Cedar Park and Leander) areas of Texas.  It’s a great paper that has alot of articles that the larger Austin American Statesman doesn’t carry.  It does a particularly nice job of cover the high school sports scenes.  I had worked very closely with Robert Thomas taking soccer pictures.  Well……I got a call this week to help take more sports shots to help out.  It’s something I was interested in as I love doing photography and the chance to help out the paper too - well, that’s just fun.

So, my 1st assignment was today taking shots for the Vista Ridge boys baseball game against Westwood.  I got there a little early and had a chance to watch and photograph a little bit of my 1st ever Lacrosse game.  It was Vista Ridge -vs- Harker Heights.  I didn’t have a clue of what was going on or the rules.  But it looked like alot of fun.  It was definitely alot higher scoring than baseball or soccer.  After about 15 minutes of shooting, I got around to shooting the boys baseball.  I stuck for the 1st 3 innings with the good guys up 4-1.  You’ll have to visit the paper to see the final scores.  They publish updates every Tuesday and Friday.
