Water Polo

I took photographs of the Hercules Boys' Water Polo Team last weekend. While the boys were warming up, I decided to practice photographing the other game for the meantime.
I really liked how these photographs turned out. I wish this person was at Hercules High so I can put it in our school’s yearbook ): Oh well, at least this gave me an opportunity to post it up on my blog!
In the first photograph, the Berkeley student is grabbing for the ball. Behind him, a hand is spotted getting ready to grab after him.
The other action shot beneath the first photo is also of the same Berkeley player. He is shooting the ball at the goalie, which is seen in the lower right corner of the photo and a hand ready to block the shoot. Behind the Berkeley player is a hand swimming towards him. It is not very clear, but the white water is shown of the swimmer behind the Berkeley player.
I had a lot of fun taking photos of the water polo games. This is my first year actually trying to take pictures for the water polo team(s).

First Post!

I want to make this short and simple.

Hi, my name is Annika. I started taking photos for my high school’s newspaper/yearbook last year. I thought making my blog about photography would help motivate me to continue this passion. This blog is actually an assignment for my yearbook teacher, Ms. Wojinski; hence the URL, forwojo.

I truly believe that a picture is worth a thousand words because a picture tells a story. “I always thought good photos were like good jokes. If you have to explain it, it just isn’t good enough.” —Anonymous

My goal is to take a photograph that would leave a memorable impression on at least one person.
