HEAD'S UP



EMERSON,NJ 09/24/07 HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SOCCER / EMERSON HS VS RIDGEFIELD HS: Ridgefield goalie Josh Morales grabs the ball to make a save, although it appears he is grabbing his head during game against Emerson.
I've shot a bunch of local high school sports lately. Nabbed this quirky pic during game between Ridgefield and Emerson. I like how the ball appears to have eyes, and the backlight gives it a studio look. Sports photos are often about the serendipity that occurs during action, often so quickly you never actually see the image come together until the editing phase -such as this one. This photo just happened, nothing planned.
