The above is my first attempt to animate a series of images. The color and texture got messed up on conversion. In addition, I made it too large so it doesn’t work at any resolution other than the original. If you are on a big screen, though, click on the above image for the animation.
Here is one of the files used to make the animation sequence.
2012 Southern Oregon University Women's Rugby Team
Southern Oregon University Women's Rugby vs. OIT - March 10, 2012
I watched rugby for the first time ever yesterday. I believe this was the first match that SOU Women’s Rugby has ever had in Ashland. The weather was great, and the photography was fun. For sports photography, rugby can’t be beat for tackles, hits, and facial expressions.
I have a few dozen more, but for today I’ll just leave you with these.
When the daytime temperature hits 60 degrees and the forecast is for snow in the evening, you know the sunset is likely to be spectacular. Luckily I was out, waiting for Ellie to finish her flute lesson, when the pre-sunset show began to take place.
This is the third time I’ve posted a picture of this vineyard Buddha. He is at peace regardless of the weather.
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.

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

This past Sunday kicked off a series of all-day tournaments for the volleyball clubs of Northern California and Southern Oregon in Medford. Ellie’s team didn’t win the first tournament over the 19 other teams, but I have a feeling they will win some of these.
