I’m looking forward to a return to outdoor sports. No, soccer doesn’t resume until the fall, but SOU softball has begun and the team will be playing at home soon.
Matt Sayre, SOU’s Athletic Director, can be seen in the background on the left of today’s photo of Maddy Scott.
Beatriz Abella
One of my students sang for her Junior Recital this past weekend. No, I don’t teach music or give voice lessons. (Those that have heard my voice should be laughing right now.) She is a double major and wants to become a CPA. I teach accounting and tax.
Beatriz has won a number of awards for her voice. She has been a part of several musical theater productions as well. She has also sung in Carnegie Hall–twice!
Today’s photo is a frame I extracted from a video I took at her recital. I didn’t take any stills, but since I was recording at 1080 pixels, the image isn’t too bad.
Here is a short video from her performance which I took on my Nikon D7000, with Nikkor 70-200mm VR II f/2.8 lens, and Sennheiser MKE 400 external mic.
If you’d like to watch and listen to her entire recital (in order) click here.

This photo of Zoe Jakes is from the RAW image. I uploaded the jpg version here but found it a bit too purpley.
We’ve been having some great skies the past few days. I love February’s annual false spring.

Last night the Southern Oregon University Men’s Basketball team hosted conference leader Northwest University in Ashland.

Eric Thompson
Eric Thompson set the SOU freshman record for most points in a season on this evening (even though more than a few games remain).
The game was exciting. SOU never led in the second half. However, a last second offensive rebound (off a free throw no less) and shot by Eric Thompson tied the game to send it into overtime against the heavily favored Eagles.
SOU had a one-point lead with just one second remaining in OT. However, with time expiring, Northwest University’s Michael Greene banked this shot to win the game for the visitors.

JPEG version
I always process my .jpg image file separately from my RAW image of the same scene. Usually I delete the version I don’t like as much. With this photo, I couldn’t decide. Which do you like better?

As I mentioned a couple weeks back, there was a good chance Ashland’s monkey tree would be no more once the people moved out. They moved at the end of January, and the monkeys are now gone. Oh well, I still have a few photos from what was.
I have no photos of the New York Giants or New England Patriots, and to be perfectly honest, I’d much rather watch the Red Sox or Yankees than either of these teams. In fact, I will be seeing the Yankees and Red Sox, in their home stadiums, in just four months.
Today’s photos are of Cole McKenzie, making a fine catch down the sideline for the SOU Raiders, from a few months back.
