Welcome to our blog
Hello to all our friends. This is the first installment of our blog. Yes, we have been brought kicking and screaming into the 2000’s. We hope to use this space so that you can learn more about the how and why of Al and Larry Sports. As we progress through the seasons, we hope to observe on the events at the hundreds of games we attend. We also hope we can give you some insight into sports photography and photography in general. We welcome your comments and questions and will try to respond as thoroughly and quickly as time permits. The basis for many of the first entries will be centered around our Most Frequently Asked Questions … things such as how do we pick the games we attend, or the schools we cover, and how this whole process works.
Today is the first of April, and according to the school sports schedules, it will be pretty hectic over the next six weeks as we try to cover as many games as possible, weather permitting. And that seems to be the biggest factor this time of year. We are already getting game cancellation and postponement notices. We plan on covering five sports this spring, baseball, softball, lacrosse, track and rugby. In addition to Al and I, we have two other photographers that are part of our team. Jim Baron covers most of the Mentor sports for us, and Scott Evans will be helping with the West side sports, particularly Rocky River, which is new this season, and Bay Village. We hope you will be seeing their contributions to this blog.
If you see one of us at a game, please say hello. We welcome your thoughts and ways to improve what we do. We will always find time to answer questions, but please remember we are there to work for you, so between periods, before and after games is best for us. And, to you aspiring high school photographers, we welcome your questions and will be glad to give you some tips to improve your work for your school or yourself.
See you on the sidelines! - Al and Larry
