Missed Opportunity

             My missed opportunity isn't so much of a missed shot but a missed idea. For "At Play" there were  a lot of ideas going through my head but they all seemed to be very safe and easy. I knew I wanted to do sports because I'm a big fan and love to shoot them in different ways. But nothing really stuck out to me except for the Quidditch team so I went with it. After I had all my film developed and most of my prints done I thought of a great idea that didn't occur to me earlier which was coaching.
            Athletes are great but what's an athlete without its coach. I know a distant friend who is older and coaches a fifth grade basketball team. He doesn't have a kid so he does it for the team and the school. I thought that it would be great to go to one of their practices and games and take shots of the coach to children relationship on the court. When your coaching/talking to younger kids you really need a certain way to communicate with them so you can get the proper response. They have to trust you. I thought it would be very interesting if i tried to show this idea through pictures.
          Unfortunately this idea didn't come to me sooner. If I was to approach this project again I would take pictures of the kids playing and the coach. I would document their relationship and try to show the story. It's something that I would definitively consider doing in the future. It would be a different approach of something I love to do. Although its an opportunity I missed it is still a possibility for the future.
