2022 LHSAA State ZIP Folders |
February 28th, 2022| Written by: Staff writer |
Below you will find links to ZIP folders of the photos
the
LWN took during the 2022 LHSAA State Wrestling Championships.
Well, it is not all of the photos. The ZIP folders include the photos that
made the "first cut" during the process of determining what photographs I will
use in the final article. Most of the folders contain perhaps 20% of the
actual photos taken. The first ones I cut were the ones that were out of
focus, or that focused on the wrong subject (an official, a scorer, one of the
noodles used to notify the officials when a round is over). Then there are
photos of, well, just nothing happening. If those shots show good facial
expressions or bulging veins, I might keep them. But despite how hard it
is to break a guy down to the mat and keep him down, it just does not make for a
good photo. Often, singlets and the contortions in which wrestlers put
themselves into just, well leave nothing to the imagination, and sometimes even
cropping those photos (it sounds more painful than it is) just does not save the
image. And then, of course, there are the butt-shots. I mean
thousands of them. Other photographers will back me up on this one - some
kids' butts just seem to follow a lens' view. I tell them that if they
point their butts in the other directions, the photographs are free. But
to no avail. They are distracted by something else than a need for the
immortal fame a photo on a website can promise.
I was proud that I figured out the heart symbol
on my very own. My first thought was that the USPS had lost yet
another invitation for me to join a very prestigious and exclusive
social clique. |
A few matches are a little "light" re the number of photographs available at this time. I will recheck the SD cards to see if I can find other ones. It is possible they do not exist, however. Bladders do not care about photographs, nor do tuxedo shirts. Yet there are still a lot more photographs than were available last season, thanks to the LHSAA who gave three media credentials to the LWN this year.
Please note: The photographs are straight from the SD cards, which means I have not edited them at all and they are pretty big files. If you find some you would like to print, you can crop them, adjust their color and resize them as you like. It will be a while, yet, before I have done that and publish my STATE article, but most of y'all know that. If you are interested, a certain "official photographer" of LHSAA state championship events has none, as in zilch AND bupkis, available for sale on their website. Damn, now I feel bad...OK - that feeling's gone now.
How to download and open a ZIP folder:
Click the desired match ZIP file. You may be able to open it from a download box on your computer, or, from that menu, opt to show it in the folder in which it downloaded (usually your "Downloads" folder. Right-click on the ZIP file and select “Extract All…” Once you select “Extract All,” you will get a new pop-up menu. Follow the options there. Or, ask your kids. If you are downloading it to a Mac or a phone, definitely ask your kids. However, make and name an empty folder into which you want to save the files. Otherwise you may find them all over your "desktop" or "Home Screen."
