Photo Training with Jay Swetech
Friday Night Football Against Ponderosa
This all came together quite quickly. I met Jay for the first time in the summer of 2006 when Zoe, Robert and Justine attended the Walsworth summer workshop at Sonoma State. Then we worked together again at the Hayward workshop in 2007 and then this year at Davis.
Last year he sent out a flyer offering a workshop to schools which I never got organized. This year I wrote it into the contract and worked it out with Reese although we will pay for his services and she will credit it back to us.
He arrived at about 12:45 and I just happened to be up in admin office so it was an easy connection. We decided to ave him do his workshop keynote for the entire class. It was an excellent overview of what he calls the tree easies.

He said it would take "52 minutes" but it wound up taking nearly the entire period. the original plan was that he would work with Shelby, Kim, Claire, Cierra, and Hannah, but they all had to leave after school so Sara Noble and Maddie Nagle were able to stay so I asked them. Zoe also got a little instruction. They went down to the gym and even shot some indoor lighting stuff.
Between 4:30 and and 5 the first team began to assemble and eventually they all headed down to shoot the JV game.
Eventually they all got there and we had Shelby, Kim, Hannah, Claire, Hannah, Cierra, Maddie, Sara, and Zoe all shooting. Pretty impressive and they had a blast. The game was amazing too. It was tied 0-0 at half and they we went ahead 6-0. They scored and it was 7-6. Ponderosa scored again on a breakaway run and it was 14-6 with less than 3 minutes to go. We scored pretty quickly but missed the two point conversion to make it 14-12. We stopped them on a furth and one and then drove down for the final score and he game ended at 19-14. By far the greatest night game ever played at Cougar Canyon.
