So I browsed my Outlaws photos and picked a few that I like. No particular message here, just some photos I thought you might enjoy. As always, I'll save the action shots for later in the blog so I can post them extra large.

One of my favorite Outlaws is Cookie, Marisa Rivas, quarterback. I profiled her in the blog awhile back, got to know her just a little, got to like her a lot. She was injured in the final game of the regular season, broke a collar bone, I believe, and couldn't play in the playoff game. But she could influence the outcome of the game. I captured this fun series of three photos as Cookie coaches Toni Fuller, who would take some snaps at QB in replacement of Cookie.

What happens when charismatic Outlaws retire? They get recruited to generate excitement dressed as Annie Outlaw. This is Megan McMillan Riley, a former Outlaw who won some attention in my blog working at the Texas Chili Parlor, a restaurant that recalled some memories for me. Megan promised to buy me a glass of wine on my next visit to the parlor but then she moved on to...? I don't know where she is now. But I will find her and collect my Chardonnay.

I try to shoot a lot of the Outlaws because I think they like seeing their photos in the blog. Some of my random photos are hard to explain. What can I say about some players just standing there waiting for something to happen?

Now for a couple action photos. Note that I'm displaying them as large as the blog host allows.
A long time ago I did some photos for a local theater group, I noticed something interesting. In every scene, every actress/actor was acting. Even those on the side or background, who weren't part of the main focus of the scene. I've noticed something similar in many of my Outlaw's actions shots. One player may have the football but other players are acting as if they have it. In the play below, I Shadana doesn't have the ball, Toni does, but Shadana is pretending. The idea is that if the defense thinks Shadana has the ball, they'll tackle he and Toni will romp to the end zone.
This faking is common. Watch any NFL game and you'll often see the player without the ball trying to decoy the defense.
But this photo adds some interest. See Arkansas number fifty? She is Erica, one of the Arkansas stars and she weighs 280 pounds. By comparison, Shadan is one of the Outlaws stars and weighs 140 - half of what Erica weighs. It looks as thought Erica is going to tackle someone. If Shadana is a good faker, she'll get buried under 280 pounds of Erica. If she doesn't fool Erica, Toni, who also weighs 140, will be Erica's target.
If you were Shadana, what would you do? Let someone else win the Oscar?

Another of my favorite players is Rubi Reyna. I think she's every body's favorite. She's one of if not the smallest Outlaw but she has all kinds of fire on the field. I'm posting this just because I like Rubi and I think it shows her looking good on the field.

All Star game. Someone just scored. I think it was Cabrerra, a Detroit Tiger. Did you know I'm a native Detroiter? End of four, American league leads 1-0.
