Pace, Prisoners Of War, and Pinwheels

Fort Walton Beach High School could not keep up with the "pace" of the Pace Patriots during this week's Friday night football game. Pace defeated the Vikings 34-9 in a heavily one-sided game. This was my first trip to Pace High School and the first half alone was very uneventful for FWB. They were chosen among many sports analysts to be the favorite to win the game, but they couldn't get any momentum going, especially in the first half. I only caught that part of the game because of deadline, but it was still a fun game to shoot. The image below was published:

Earlier that morning, I covered the National POW/MIA Recognition Day ceremony at the Air Force Armament Museum. The ceremony started inside with a couple guest speakers and then proceeded outside with a wreath presentation by a local elementary school, a rifle volley, and a fly over by the 40th Test Evaluation Squad. I shot still and video from the event. Both images were published:

Thursday evening I headed over to Niceville High School to photograph the volleyball game against Choctaw. The Niceville Eagles pulled off the win over the Indians 25-16, 25-5, 25-8. In this game I tried to get some different angles than the standard shots with the net and came up with a few good shots.

I had forgotten all about those paper pinwheels that teachers have you make in elementary school. This assignment was a childhood reminder. Different grades participated in the creation of these concoctions for the Pinwheels for Peace project to mark the International Day of Peace (which is 9-21-10). These seventh and eighth graders enjoyed decorating and assembling the pinwheels and placing them in a cup holder that grew into a pinwheel bouquet. And I enjoyed watching them do it.
