Thursday night at Oceanside East the crowd of basketball fans certainly got their money’s worth with three excellent games played from the freshmen, JV and varsity boys teams from Oceanside and Nokomis of Newport.

If they are competing in a cheering competition then it’s has much a sport as the game they cheer for. Sports aside, I have a great deal of respect for the work that cheerleaders do. They practice...

Using some presets in Lightroom 3

It is a program made by photographers for photographers so as they are building it the needs of photographers is always a big consideration.
