High School Basketball done, Indoor football begins

Well, the high school sports season is coming to a close for the season for me. Specializing in football, volleyball and basketball generally leaves me to special projects and household chores by the middle of March. Sure, I'll do an occasional softball or baseball game but the real busy season for me has concluded.

Fertilizer, paint, and a circular saw are certainly in my near future. Most likely a wash mitt and a chamois as well.

Thinking of special projects, I may just begin on one that I've wanted to do for a few years. I like to build things. If you look at my website - http://www.alanlook.com/ - you can see the floor mount and the flash bracket that I've made. I've also dabbled a bit with some flash diffusers and I'm also working on a bandalero style camera strap similar to the R strap by BlackRapids. Most of my creations stem from need. The one on my mind right now is far from needs based. Large format has always been too expensive of an endeavor for me to try. Kits are available to assemble one that works for a fraction of the cost. Yes, film may seem like a regression to many, but it still kindles a small flame when I think about using it with large format.

Don't forget to stop my my website and view all the latest images from Illinois State University, Normal Community High School, Normal Community West High School, University High School, Ridgeview High School, Illinois Wesleyan University Athletics and their opponents. Also check out the stock images and images of some of my peers in my Virtual Agency - Blue Truck Imaging. That link and others are available on my website - http://www.alanlook.com/

Redbird Classic - a real winner!

Illinois State University Redbird Women's Volleyball hosted a 4 team volleyball this past weekend.  Participating visiting teams were #7 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles, #7 ranked University or Illinois Fighting Illini and the Knights from the University of Central Florida.  Events kicked off on Friday evening with the Knights and Golden Eagles followed by ISU v the Illini.  Both those matches went 4 sets with Golden Eagles defeating the Knights and ISU upsetting the Illini! On Saturday UCF took on the Illini in a morning match.  The Illini fell once again moving their record in the tournament to 0-2 and setting UCF's record to 1-1.  The evening matchups included a 5:30 match between UCF and Illinois State and the nightcap was Marquette and the Illini.  Both matches went 5 sets, both thrillers with ISU taking the win over UCF and the Illini besting Marquette. Sunday afternoon, the final match between Marquette and Illinois State was nothing short of epic...

Football season gets started with ISU Redbird Red-White Scrimmage

The local football season kicked off today with the Illinois State Redbird Red-White scrimmage.  A healthy combination of fans and students attended the event and the preliminary activities which included the annual student promo photo on the field in Hancock Stadium with the Big Red Marching Machine, cheerleaders, flag corp, and Redline Dancers forming ISU all wearing red shirts. High School football will follow in 13 days with the first Friday Lights games. Get out this fall, support your local teams and see some of the great talent that passes through our communities!

12-13-2024 Normal Community West High School Wildcats Basketball defeated by Richwood Knights

  From my chair, the West v Richwoods varsity boys basketball game looked closer than it ended up. West fell short on a 50-36 game. West has what seems to be an unusually young bunch of ballers with just 3 seniors on the team. Two or three of the starters for this game were sophomores and very hard working young men!
