Try Something New

Sometimes when things seem to be going the wrong way it’s a good idea to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. With the baseball teams out of town I had the opportunity to shoot boxing for my first time. I like the chance to be creative with candid shots when I am out shooting. There was lots of opportunities for that. It’s easy to kind of just blend in when the people you are shooting are so focused on their preparation. When I shoot something for the first time I am not usually pleased with the work as I am shooting. No exception tonight. Feeling out of your element makes you focus more but it also takes awhile to figure things out. I have a list of things I would do differently. I had the chance to chat with one of the coaches before things got started. He gave me some things to look for and it was cool to hear from his perspective. We shared a lot of information and that’s a cool part of doing something new too. Add boxing to the list of sports I would love to shoot again. I want to thank Knowledge of Boxing for allowing me to cover their event.
