Debated spending the day at home on this day, but figured I could kill two birds with one stone and meet up with some friends that I haven't seen in a couple weeks, or in one case - last season. T'was of course, a CCSA game. Playing was Richmond Hill Chinese Baptist Church Dunamis, a team that I got to know quite well due to the good relationship between then and ETCBC's junior team from last season, Klastos.

Umpiring were two of my friends from another team, Nick (very top) and James (above). I'm not quite sure how Nick and I met, but I believe it happened at a Dunamis game last season, whilst he was umpiring (go figure). I think he made a comment about my camera, and somehow we spun that into a conversation from there. Later that season I also found out that he is in the same class as my good friend Michael. I had met James during a local softball tournament (Formosan) that some of my CCSA peers were taking part in during last year's civic holiday.

At some point, a few folks from Themelios and Ekklesia also converged on the location, many of us knowing people on Dunamis as well as James from last year's Formosan/CCSA season. Didn't really pay too much attention to the game, there was already another photographer there ripping it up with a D3 and 70-200 VR II, so I felt little pressure to get anything done.

Overall though, a good time just to hanging out and catching up with some friends that I had not seen in a while. As I've said a couple times this season to a few folks: I come for the sport, but I stay for the people.
