Yep, more baseball!
Documenting love, commitment, and amazing moments!
I stood there in the pouring rain wearing a black dress with black heels peeking out of my long wool coat. The afternoon’s baseball game was dotted with pithy comments. “Who is punishing you?” an umpire quipped from first base. A mom laughed from the stands, “Do you want my umbrella?” The game ran into it’s third hour and I still didn’t have any great shots. At this point the mascara was smeared every which way and my hair curled up into kinks. Another ump clearly noticed, then jeered, “We’re gonna keep you here ALL night!” I laughed right back.
Yes, it was true. I showed up to shoot a baseball game in heels. I don’t own a raincoat. Truthfully, I think raincoats are ugly. I’d rather be wet. It wasn’t the first time I wasn’t prepared for the weather and I’m sure it won’t be the last. The forecast is not one of the things I check before I head out for the day. Whether my shoes match my dress? That takes precedence…even if both end up soaked.
