MORE ATHLETES
Its been a little crazy around here for the past week or so. I have only 4 days left of work here at The Gazette before I pack up and drive the 16 hours back home to Houston. It seems like it has gone by so fast, yet at the same time, looking back, my [...]
ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
For the past week or so Ive been working on The Gazette’s Athletes of the Year special section that will come out in about 3 weeks. It’s something they put out each year that highlights the accomplishments of 12 (this year) prep athletes that have excelled in their sport for the season. I was handed [...]
A HOCKEY GAME IN 29 SECONDS
With a day off I decided to head over to a Colorado College hockey game and do a little time-lapse action. This piece is 29 seconds and is the game from beginning to end.
NOVEMBER MADNESS
Last night was my first time to shoot basketball. That sounds weird. I cannot believe that I had never shot basketball until last night. Although basketball is not one of my favorite sports, shooting it is pretty darn exciting. I was scheduled to shoot a prep football playoff and was elated to find out I [...]
AN A-LIST ACTOR AND A FEW RANTS
There really wasn’t too much to discuss today regarding images captured however I have to discuss the day’s goings on, as it has been a quite interesting few hours. Mondays are my late day so I sleep in a bit and start my shift at 2pm. About 11am, just minutes before my alarm was scheduled to [...]
SLUGFEST
I haven’t posted a blog in some time, and much to my surprise I’ve gotten quite a few inquiries to my condition as well as requests to post more. Ive been in Kentucky for the last week so I’ve been a bit disconnected with the rest of the world. Several more blog posts will accompany this one [...]
ROCKTOBER
I love baseball. It’s that simple. I always have. I watched the game since as far back as I can remember, Ive played the game (both organized and unorganized) on multiple continents and have shot the game for a number of years now as well. After interning with the Astros (my hometown team and by far my [...]
TENNIS THROWBACK
At the risk of throwing my blog off chronologically, I am postponing my baseball post until later tonite, so stay tuned…it will be good. Trust me. Today, however, I shot the 4A men’s tennis regionals held at Cheyenne Mountain High School. I arrived at the school around 9am and students were still piling into the school. As I [...]
XTREMEEEE!!!
I had always seen different specials featuring the 4×4 rock crawlers as they are called on different cable channels but never really paid too much attention. When this event was assigned to me I was excited from the start. I knew it would definitely provide a great opportunity for some nice images and a great time [...]
THE UNDERDOG
Today I drove out to Centennial, Colorado, a few miles south of Denver and profiled a local college hockey star named Brandon Straub. Straub was co-captain of the Colorado College hockey team and was invited to the Colorado Avalanche (NHL) rookie camp. Straub, a defenseman, was out to prove himself from the start as he is a [...]
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK #1
Today I got the chance to shoot the first Athlete of the Week sportrait (sports portrait for those not in the biz) for the Gazette’s special weekly highlight during the school year. The subject was Kory Harnell, a star golfer for Air Academy High School, which is situated on the Air Force Academy base. I wanted to [...]
CLASS V
For those of you who have not heard, I have relocated (temporarily) to lovely Colorado Springs, Colorado to work with The Gazette, the award-winning daily here. It is an amazing photo paper and a great experience for me. It does mean being away from people I love, places I love and the general comforts of [...]
