10/18 - RIT Intrasquad Scrimmage

For the last several weeks, I've been hearing that RIT will have a baseball game here and/or there during the weekends, either against another school or within each other (intrasquad). When I woke up this morning, I got a text from a good friend on the team, Skip, saying that there's an intrasquad scrimmage today. So I just grabbed my camera and headed to the new baseball field at RIT (it's still under construction though, but playable).

Also, on a side note, Skip and I have a friend, Chris, who is trying out for the team. You'll spot him easily, as he is sporting a Yankee cap.

Even though it was just a scrimmage and there were no score being kept, it was just great to be back on the baseball field and seeing some of the veterans around, like Michael Burns, C.J. Bolorin and Tyler Ramotar.

10/10 - RIT Volleyball Senior Spotlight


Last night was the senior night for the RIT volleyball team. This night was somewhat special for me because I personally know three of the five seniors on the team. Ever since I’ve started shooting for RIT Athletics four years ago, I’ve followed their career at RIT. Another thing that makes it somewhat special for me were that all of us were in the same major when they were mere freshmen. Now they have gone on their own ways (different majors and whatnot), they still remained best friends and played together for four years on the RIT volleyball team. 

In this post, I’ve included three pictures for each of them; a photo of them when they were freshman (my first year of shooting as well), a photo from last night’s game against Brockport and a portrait that I did of them during their second year.

Katie (#6), Christina (#9) and Audrey (#25); I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Congratulations!
 






Of course, I didn't forget about the other two seniors! :-) Congratulations Cat (#12) and Suzanne (#5)!













Again, congratulations to all of you!
