Women’s Water Polo – Rio Hondo at Santa Monica

Third times a charm at water polo!  Santa Monica College played to a 11-7 victory over Rio Hondo College in women’s water polo at the Santa Monica Aquatics Center in Santa Monica, California on Tuesday, October 25, 2011.

My best and favorite images of water polo came from the game.  Recalling experiences from my pervious games helped with producing more powerful photos.

To see more photos from the game please visit my flickr page.

On the afternoon of Wednesday, October 19, my assignment for the Corsair called for photographing the men’s and women’s water polo matches between SMC and Los Angeles Valley College.  The contests were not close with LA Valley putting on a demonstration in the pool.  The men’s team won 24-8 and the women’s team added to the dominance with a 14-4 victory over SMC at the Santa Monica Aquatics Center in Santa Monica, California, Wednesday, October 19, 2011.

LA Valley netted 38 combined goals.  The photos below are a collection of images of the SMC goalies in net.

Cousins at the Pool

I posted about the Sophie (2.5) & Ryan (3) visit to the farm; the following day I visited the Cousins at the Pool. Swimming with young ones is rather fun.  Ryan was all about jumping into the water.  He was like a CD on repeat. He would jump in, get out, jump in, get out, jump in over and over.  It was a tough task keeping him out of the pool.

If you are in the Los Angeles area and would like candid photos of your child(ren), please e-mail me at myanowphotographs@gmail.com and we can schedule a time.
