Battle of the Gorge

Well, the battle didn't come out the way we all wanted!  That being said.  I did see some great improvements over last year.  These guys really worked well together.  We had a lot of positives Friday night.  The Raiders did very well on the ground and in the air.  Now my blog is not an all sports blog as you can tell.  I will leave that up to Zack at The Northeast Georgian for the ends and outs of the game and the numbers.  I will just say that as for me, I am very proud of the players, coaches, and support staff of the Raiders.  Now lets go get them next week.

Habersham Fall Sports Preview

I know that most of the fall sports have already started.  Those of you that know me, know that I have been on the road with Adelaide with softball for a couple of weeks now.  That being said.  Tonight is the opening of the season for Raider Football.  Being on the road is always tough.  This Friday night is no different.  Let's get out and support our Raiders tonight.  This is a shot I did for the Northeast Georgian a couple of weeks ago for the Preview.  I really enjoyed working with this group of young athletes.  These young men and women are great representatives for our school.  So find a schedule, find a sport, buy a ticket and come out and see one of the many sports being played in your own backyard.  Who knows you might find a sport your young kids would like to be a part of one day.

Beckett at Three Weeks

You can't get any better than a newborn.  This little guy was a pure joy to work with.  He did make me work for some of the shots but when he went to sleep he did not move.  Congratulations Natalie on such a great looking little man.

Wilbanks Basketball 2014

Great Basketball Day at Wilbanks Middle School today.  I was able to photograph all four teams in action and all four teams won.  Although both 8th grade games were a little tight they were able to pull it out.  Great games to all the guys and gals that played today.  I wanted to give a little preview of the shots from today.  I will get all of them up on my website (www.tomaskewphotography.zenfolio.com) as soon as I get all of them edited.  It will be around the middle of the week.

Habersham Tennis

I had a chance to go shoot a little tennis at Habersham Central High School yesterday.  I wish I could have photographed everyone but had limited time before Adelaide had to be at softball practice.  Plus it is hard to get between the courts for the best shots.  These are a few of the shots that I took that really caught my eye.  Maybe I will be able to get to a few more matches this year.

Brenau Gallery Show Images

I am trying to start the year off right.  That means try to start blogging more.  I have been working on some fun stuff in the past few months.  One being getting the web site up and running.  I have been doing a little hunting and getting ready to get back to fishing.  The real reason for this post is to let you know that Brenau University has ask me to show some images in the up coming photography show.  The title of the show is local color.  It took me a while to think about this and it just came to me.  Habersham County is where I call home and since I am a big football fan and with just one high school in the county Friday nights in the fall is where all the local color comes out to play.  It was so hard to choose the photographs for this show.  Like I was telling the gallery I could do a show with about three times the number of photographs.  It may turn out that I end up doing something bigger later.  See what you think.

The Masters

Well The Masters have begun.  Who will be wearing the green jacket at the end of the day on Sunday?  Is Tiger back?  Will the new president of IBM be given a membership?   I have not given a lot of thought to any of these questions.  What I do know is back in 2008 I had the opportunity to go to a practice round due to a good friend Kurt Warren and witness this great place.  If you like golf or just like being out in the great outdoors you would really like to walk around Augusta National.  It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.  Memories of the walk along with the images I was able to take back home with me I will not soon forget.  Thanks Kurt for having me tag along!!!
