I spend most of my weekends from August through March going to my son’s hockey games. This year we decided to move from the small town (Cottonwood, AZ) to the big city (Chandler, AZ) to allow my son to get more visibility. He is currently on three teams, which means we usually have three to six games each weekend!

This many games is allowing me to practice my sports photography. The tricky part is shooting through the glass. NJ played at Jobbing.com arena where the Coyotes play. This was the best experience because they have photographer’s cutouts in the glass. I was able to really get some good clear shots. Check out the rest of the hockey pictures.

I thought you might like to see one of the pieces of jewelry I made in a class two years ago. One piece which had a small flower on it I gave to my grandmother. While the other which is sitting in my closet is a piece of twisted silver. The sun piece I get comments about quite often. I have even had a gallery asking about it but when they find out that I only have the one piece they are not quite interested. I will need to work on a few more items. I have some ideas rolling around in my head I just need to find the time to pull them out.
