friday night football

When I first moved here from Louisiana, high school football was just another extra curricular activity I had to photograph for the school newspaper. It wasn't the event that they are in Texas. So, you can understand my surprise when I covered my first high school football game for the studio I work for to find the bleachers packed, with people lining the fence line. It appeared that the whole town had turned out for the event. Well, that's exactly what they do here in Texas. Friday Night Lights and the sort. Look at Carroll. Wow. Anyway, now I know what to expect and enjoy bringing home images like these that contribute, in a way, to that Texas tradition.
