Exclusive, in-your-face Emily pics from Skate America 2007, posted here first! (By the way, let me know if these are gamma-corrected too high on your monitor! I think my monitor is really dark, it is seriously throwing me off...) Emily Hughes - Sunday Practice As you can see, Emily is first out of the gate for the Group 2 practice session. She was at the front of that gate EVERY TIME she took the ice. I think she was really pumped! Out of the jacket, we see her long program outfit. A city skyline I believe. I like it. On any other skater I would question, but Emily is cute enough to pull off anything. Emily with her new coach, Mark Mitchell. They seem to get on well. Though here he seems to be eyeing the competition more intently? Emily, Mark and I believe Peter Johansson. I sat near the coaching area during practice, and at the end of the ladies' program music I walked up with people to get autographs, but there were still 13 minutes left in the practice. Then I realized... I'm standing right next to Mark Mitchell, DIRECTLY IN FRONT of Emily's spot. Needless to say, I got some nice shots... No, I mean... I got some NICE SHOTS! (you may want to be sitting down!) (Water on the nose and cheek, heh!) I just kept casually snapping candid shots, trying to act nonchalant while Emily stood probably 4 feet from me... Signing autographs - I had one from Saturday, so I asked for a pose instead (I really wanted to ask for a hug, but I felt too weird about it... plus I was afraid I'd make her lose her balance or something!) She is just too adorable!! OK! So these are just 1/3 of the EMILY shots, of the practice session, from Sunday. I have my work cut out for me. You can see the rest of Emily's (non-exhibition) shots from Sunday here: http://s105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/Tu...&slideshow=true I did NOT take pictures during the ladies free skate, because I simply wanted to enjoy the experience for once. But I think I had more than enough pics. Hope you liked these! (Actually... I KNOW you did!)
