Weekly Update #1 – 2018

by Leave a Comment

It’s the beginning of a new year here at the A-J. And I have decided to begin making weekly updates on here of my work assignments. In the past, I have always just posted a handful of photos from the bigger events, but that inevitably prevents many photos from being seen.

January 2

Plainview vs. Amarillo Basketball

Returning to work on the second I traveled up to Plainview to photograph the Bulldogs in their game against the Amarillo Sandies.
