Hill Country DJ’s again tore up the turntables at RevengeOfTheSpin at the Pipe Creek Community Center on Jan 23.
DJ’s BOG, Hauss-Style, Lazy K, Crizzly and Ghost Pizza kept the dancers, fire spinners, hoola-hoopers and other revelers moving to the sweet beats.
These parties are always a blast to attend and shoot at.
You can view my video from the event in High-Def over on YouTube.

With some extra shooting time on my hands for the holidays, I grabbed the ol’ HD video cam and show the Bandera Lady Bulldogs vs. Liberty Hill Lady Panthers varsity basketball game on Jan. 2, 2010.
I put together a couple of video cuts, just for fun, which you can watch in this post or in High Def on YouTube:
Vanilla HD Mix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNdBg8byM64
Sparta Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=affVcc5-nD0&feature=related
There are many ways to present a sports video, from raw footage with game audio to hyperactive music-video style editing (like in the Sparta Remix version) to narrative highlight reels like my favorite, ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 lists. These were purely experimental, since I am obviously a far more experience photographer than videographer, so I’d appreciate any feedback you, dear reader, can provide.

The Bandera Lady Bulldogs out a big 37-29 win over the Wimberley Lady Texans tonight to pick up a district win. The level of aggression on the court was much higher after the routing Bandera took versus Liberty Hill last week.
The Bandera boys blew past Pearsall 53-37 as well, marking a good night for varsity basketball in Bandera.
You can find a full set of my photos from the games in the Bandera.net Gallery: Lady Bulldogs vs. Wimberley here, and Bulldogs vs. Pearsall here.

Now this was one heck of a partay.
DJs Crizzly, Hauss-Style, Bog and Lazy K threw down some incredible beats for five hours at the Pipe Creek Community Center on Monday, kicking off Christmas break in delicious bass-saturated style.
I had the pleasure of shooting photos and video alongside my videographer mate, fellow Bandera High School grad Caleb Burnett.
I had a blast and I can’t wait for the next event – grapevine says we might see another concert at the end of January. I’ll keep you posted.
You can view some of my favorite photos from the event attached to this post.

Lakehills freelance photographer Ken Lane just posted his series of sports photos from last night’s Bandera Bulldogs vs. Llano Yellowjackets basketball games, freshmen, JV and varsity.
Here’s his commentary on the games:
—
I arrived in time to shoot the last half of the freshman game and a bit of the second quarter. Llano struggled to keep up with Bandera’s freshman and when the game ended, Bandera freshman had 40 to Llano’s 17.
The JV game was a stronger rout although the scores were somewhat closer, 60-42. Llano had a couple players throwing elbows, and fortunately it was caught by the refs; Llano paid the piper.
The Varsity game was much closer. The lead swapped back and forth several times with neither side able to draw away by more than four points. Within the last five minutes of the game Llano looked like they were not going to be able to stop Bandera from winning if they didn’t up their game.
Instead they chose to get very physical. Bandera has a hard time stretching their lead as every time they tried for a lay-up under the goal, Llano applied a “lay-on-top” of Bandera. Incredibly, the referee didn’t seem to see a problem with that.
At one point, a Llano player so soundly clobbered Jeffrey Jensen when he was going up for a lay-up that he temporarily came out of the game and apologized to the Bandera coaches. That didn’t keep another Llano player from grabbing a Bandera jersey and trying to physically throw the player in it out of bounds. Yeah, that didn’t go over too well either.
If those events weren’t enough, a scramble for the ball almost came to fisticuffs due to the manner in which the Llano player went after the ball.
Too physical for high school ball and unprofessional if done in the pros.
With 31 seconds left in the varsity game and a score of 38-36 in favor of Bandera, Llano fouled Jensen, who put two points on the board. Llano immediately fouled him again and Jensen put one of two points on the board.
Bandera held Llano to 36 and the game ended 41-36, Bandera.
