Luke Zippi Florida 2A Diving Champion
I haven't used this blog in a while but I post photos and YouTube videos regularly. So check out those website for up to date galleries.
This posting highlights a local high school athlete whom I photographed and videotaped back during the 2009 high school swimming/diving season.
I met Luke Zippi at the Cape Coast Conference Diving Competition at Rockledge High School back in October where he took 1st place at the event. He continued his dominance in diving at district and regionals and went on to take first place at state taking the 2009 Florida 2A Division Championship. Luke attends Viera High school.
Additional photos of the CCC event are here.

Balaram Stack 10.0 x 3
Lightning in a Bottle
To see lightning strick is an amazing coincidence of being in the
right place at the right time. At the NSSA Easterns, I saw lightning
strick. Not once, not twice, but three times.
Lightning being a 10.0 surfing score. And the same surfer, Balaram Stack, scored all three. The first occurance was on Saturday during an open heat. I shot the sequence but I saw nothing but water. Sure he came out of the tube. But was it really a 10.0?
The next time was the following day. I was in a position to photograph him during the experience. Once again, a 10.0. This time I agreed with the judges.
I asked Balaram to pose for two pictures. One with 10 fingers extended, and one with his arms crossed (a Roman numeral 10).
A half hour later, he went out in the Air Show competition and scored his third 10.0 of the competition.
I wanted to ask him to pose again: this time with his 10 toes, 10 fingers and arms crossed. But I didn't press my luck. He still had one heat left, and how many times
can you go back to the well?
Well done, Balaram!
