Finally! Friday was the kickoff of football season, at the beginning of August I get excited because practice starts, but that goes away quick with all the work of putting together our football tab and the long days of sitting in the office spending time pulling file photos. Then in the week after the tab is done it's covering scrimmages, which honestly is the absolute wort thing in the world to cover! It is basically a glorified practice, most teams don't have numbers in their jerseys and everyone is more concerned about not getting injured than making a great play, which makes sense but never makes for good photos.
So Friday, after a month of shooting practices, scrimmages and spending hours pulling file photos from the previous season, this football finally started! And, while the weather this weekend wasn't perfect and my game Saturday night was delayed by lightning I finally got to shoot some real football.
For the last three years, Abilene has held it's own kickoff classic weekend. These have become really popular over the last few years since. It's good for the town since it mean more money, good for me because it's more games to shoot, and I don't have to drive across the state to shoot them (stay tuned I'll do plenty of that during the playoffs). The other great thing about these kickoff classics are afternoon football games! Nothing beats shooting football in the daytime, the light is nice and luckily this year outside of a little humidity it wasn't that hot. Now there's one week down and 15 more weeks to go.
