My project
was to find a narrow group of people who have something in common, the
more narrow the better. I had already decided that I was going to have
my group be tall women with large shoe sizes.
I
work for Sports Imaging Photography of Utah taking pictures of kids
sports teams. When one of the teams came through with a female coach who
was tall, now granted, since I am only 5'4, a large portion of the
female population are taller then me; I gathered up my courage and asked
her what size shoe she wore. When she told me that it was a size 12, I
knew that I had found the narrow group I was searching for; tall women
who are mothers of children who play Jr Jazz BB, have a large shoe size
and are or have been coaches. I pushed myself to go into the crowd and
ask tall women what size shoe they wore. After establishing that they
had a large enough shoe size I asked if they had any coaching experience
and then if I could photograph them. I didn't have a lot of time since I
was at work, so I grabbed my personal camera and snapped a few pictures
before the next group came.
My second group of women coaches also had the same things in common... they are women who have children playing Jr Jazz BB, they are taller then I am, they have coached something, and have a size 9 or larger shoe.
This is Gretchen Polhemus Jensen and she wears a size 9.5-10 shoe. She is a former Miss USA, worked for ESPN and is now a host on ABC's Good Things Utah. I am so excited to have met her and been able to take her picture!
This is Heather Carlson. She is 5'10 and wears a size 10.
Amalia Andrews is 5'10 and wears size 11
Valorie

She has been coaching since college and loves helping kids of all ages
learn the techniques of playing sports. She is taller then I (I forgot
to ask) and wears a size 9 shoe.
