I have been busy lately trying to finish the semester at school and complete a set of photos for the Hickory Crawdads first set of 2007 baseball cards. I thought I was going to have plenty of time to complete the first set. When I initially inquired about when they had to have them, I was told the end of May would be my deadline. That was going to work out well because I'm going out of town between May 5 and May 15. The Hickory Crawdads front office called me on Friday and informed me that they need the photos by this coming Friday, which is the day before I leave. As of today, the Hickory Crawdads have only played six home games. They should have played nine, but three of them were rained out and could not be made up. I couldn't attend one of the six due to a schedule conflict of my own. We have one more game tomorrow afternoon, and that will be my last opportunity to shoot these photos before the deadline.
Unfortunately, I'll have to shoot a few stand-up shots of a couple players rather than on the field during a game. I hate having to do this, but I guess we gotta do what we gotta do :)
I have exams this week and a few minor projects to complete for the school semester. My last exam is Thursday and then I'll be off for the summer while I wait for the verdict on my acceptance or rejection to the Radiography program at Catawba Valley Community College. I should find out sometime in June.
