October 06, 2007 - A montage of bad luck.

UH Warrior football was back at Aloha Stadium.

Clouds hung dark in the sky, and intermittent rain showers made the night wet and unpleasant. Perhaps it was some kind of omen.

Last night was “one of those nights.” I seemed to be in the wrong place at all the wrong times.

Shooting sports involves a blend of luck and skill. Sometimes you get it all, sometimes the luck well runs dry.

I knew things were going downhill when I only got a few decent pictures in the first quarter, it seemed all the plays were going to the opposite side of the field.

Or a ref would be between me and the play…

This started to become an alarming trend. I noticed more and more pictures getting spoiled by this unfortunate circumstance.

If it wasn’t a ref, it was a ball dude. Or another ref.

All I could do was shake my head.

Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do but suck it up and look forward to the next game, hoping for a better day.
