This Saturday (September 22), the Raiders will have a conference matchup with Dickinson State at 1 p.m. at Raider Stadium. Saturday’s game will be the first at Raider Stadium. Today’s photo, of Manny Barragan about to apply a stiff arm, is from their first “home” game which took place on September 1 in Medford against Montana Western.
School doesn’t start at SOU for almost a month, but today is the first football game of the 2012 season. Game time is 1 p.m., and the game will be played in Medford (Spiegelberg Stadium) against Montana-Western.
I’m not a big Photoshopper. I like my images to look real. Usually the only things I do in Photoshop are crop, photomerge, and do minor work on lighting (to make things look more like they actually did–not less). I’m not a fan of HDR.
However, the original for today’s photo came out sort of strange. The grass near me had a dreamy, out-of-focus quality that I decided to push onto the rest of the image somewhat. I also lightened the shadows on the soccer player. What do you think?
Here is the original .jpg with no alterations:
The Southern Oregon University Women’s Soccer team won their first game of the season a couple days ago against Trinity Lutheran. Next game is this morning at 11.
I caught my first SOU volleyball game of the season this past Tuesday night. The gym floor at Southern Oregon University is being refinished so the Lady Raiders played against Pacific Union at the Ashland High School Gym instead (hence the Go Grizzlies banner in the background). They play some games on the road before coming back home (to Ashland High School again) on August 31. I can’t make that game but hope to be able to see them back in the Bob Riehm Arena on campus on September 4 against rival Oregon Tech in their conference opener.
We’ve been watching a lot of volleyball on TV (for once) these past few days thanks to the Olympics. Today’s photo is from last week’s Southern Oregon University Volleyball Camp.
Today wraps up SOU’s volleyball camp which has been happening this week. Last week it was a volleyball camp at Oregon State University. August will be filled with practices and tryouts for the Ashland High School team. Exciting times…

Over the past month the most popular search term that landed people here was “graduation cap decoration ideas” because of this post I made of SOU’s 2011 Commencement. So, while a graduation ceremony can be boring at times (see above picture), I entertained myself this year by taking photos of decorated graduation caps. Enjoy.

Graduation not the end? Tell them where you are headed next on your grad cap.
Show the world that you did more in college than study. Won't mom and dad be proud?

When Emile Amarotico was introduced as the representative of SOU’s Alumni Association welcoming new grads as freshly minted alumni, it was mentioned that when he and his wife walked at commencement a couple decades before, they did so with their baby girl. On this day, their daughter was graduating from SOU so it was an extra special day for the family.
