About Me

My photo
Long Beach, California, United States
Welcome to my blog. Looking through my posts you will find that I love and have a passion for photography and although my expertise so to speak is in Sports Action, I have been getting into wildlife and senior portraits. No matter what I'm shooting I want to bring my client the best possible shot I can and give them / you a photograph that you will cherish for a lifetime. If your looking for someone to capture your child in action, to show the intensity and emotion in which your child plays, look no further. Just drop me a line (e-mail) at homerkenpo@aol.com. I cover most areas in Southern Califoria.

Lakewood Discus & Shotput

The final track meet. This is the last meet I will be able to attend. Since I pretty much had pictures of all of the athlete's I decided to try something different and get them at a different angle and much tighter. For these two shots I shot through the netting of their cage.



As usual here are some shots of my son. Once again he placed 1st with the shotput and discus. He has one more meet next week, which I will miss due to computer course my work is sending me to and then it's off to League Finals. I really like the way the last three shots turned out with the sun going through his hair, giving it a glow.

Thanks Ken, I have to admit that I do push the limit and get pretty close when shooting some of my sporting events, but I've shown those in charge that I keep my eyes open and know what I'm doing so they tend to leave me alone.

For the discus shots I've had some very close calls with their throws, but hey, I was always pretty good at dodge ball.
