Xavier schools St. Joe's

This past Wednesday, I headed over to the Cintas Center for a little X basketball. I, and the 10,000+ who showed up, got more than we bargained for. Xavier just demolished St. Joe's with a final score of 88-52. I admit I'm not a Xavier fan, but I do love their arena and the energy of their fans. With a showcase game like this, you can just imagine the atmosphere in Cintas Center that night.

This is my favorite shot from the game. Dante Jackson got a chance to help lead his team from the bench for a change, and I got a little time to post-process a sports picture for a change.

Happy Valentine's Day!

So I just came inside after scraping the snow off my roof. Apparently, I have what is called an ice dam, and it's causing my basement to flood. Yay. Oh, Cincinnati weather, why do you hate me so?

In good news ... I promised a new, easier to use website, and I have delivered! Check out the new "store front" of Lacking Focus Photography ...


Also, up and coming is my Facebook presence. Let's face it, no self-respecting corporation is leaving themselves out of FB these days, right? It's pretty bare-bones at the moment, but it's there. So, look for me on the 'Book (yes, I just created that little nickname -- now watch it spread like wildfire) and become a fan!

The Color Orange

I gotta give UC credit in this one, they played hard and put up a heck of a fight ... for about 30 minutes anyway. The Orange were just a superior team. I mean, they were ranked #3 in the nation at the time for a reason. As for those final ten minutes, well, I won't not say that I suspect coaching didn't not have nothing to do none of it ... or something like that.

But hey, they rebounded with a surprisingly convincing (if nearly pissed-away) road win against UConn yesterday. Who knows, they might just cling on to the fringe of the tournament yet.

Time flies when you're ... really busy

Well, well... It looks like I managed to go over a month without an update to the blog. Shame on me. Truth be told, if you'd asked me when I last updated, I probably would have thought it was within the last week or two. It's just been that kind of month.

So, here for your viewing pleasure are some more basketball pictures. Photographically, that's pretty much what's been taking up my time lately. But change is in the air ... Spring Training is coming up, I've got another wedding booked, a new website is coming, and I foresee more new toys in the near future. Stay tuned, it's going to be another busy month! :)
