BITTERSWEET
The past few days have been decent I suppose. I’ve done a number of high school sporting events lately and a ton of other stuff as well. Last night I was up for the better (and worst) part of the night monitoring the situation with Hurricane Ike and Houston from here in Baltimore. How amazing [...]
B&O AND THE YARDS
My off days this week were not especially entertaining. I was originally planning on catching a game at Camden Yards here in Baltimore (since I’m only living a few blocks away) on Tuesday, but the weather was bad so I ended up going yesterday. I headed out early enough to coincidentally catch co-worker Justin Condor [...]
HANNA HOLD ON
I’m actually listening to The Get Up Kids song named “Hannah Hold On” right now. I thought it was fitting as I was very excited to have Hanna’s might serve as a gateway to some nice moments, images, and maybe more, but alas she was but a fake as I suspected. Last night in the [...]
NATIONALS PARK
Today was a day off for me, so I took care of some grocery shopping and also visited the inner harbor Best Buy to pick up the amazing Fun Run Kit, which is the Best Buy exclusive season 4 DVD set of The Office (aka best show ever) I also did some computer organizing and [...]
PPC FIRST WEEK
So yesterday was the magically Internet hook-up day for me at my new Baltimore City place. It was a long time coming as life is frustrating when you are in a new place, away from friends and family, without Internet. Ive been working at Patuxent Publishing Company for a week now and it has been a ride so [...]

UNDER THE SEA
I had a great time visit my Dad and friends for Father’s Day on Sunday. I finally got a chance to use the underwater housing for my CanonG9. It definitely takes a bit to get used to the variables of underwater photography, but after I got used to what the housing and environment could and could [...]
WHAT A WEEK END/WEEKEND
I’ve had an extra exciting week. Thursday I did an assignment for the Chron at Moody Garden’s on the relatives of the Titanic survivors. Friday I flew in a helicopter over Galveston and Bolivar for our upcoming movie, The Messenger. Friday, I photographed the amazing guys in Bayside. Saturday was a full day of UH spring football, Astros [...]

Wednesday I was taking photos of Planet Funk as they filmed a show for Oprah in Houston. Wednesday we also worked in Bolivar filming part of our [...]
D3 GOODNESS
What a weekend! Thursday I picked up my Astros season credential at Union Station (cant wait for the home opener) and headed then over to Reliant for my NCAA credentials. It was one post and one week or so ago that I was at Reliant and in that week the whole complex, mainly Reliant Stadium, was [...]

HOME SWEET FOOTBALL
Monday was my last day in Colorado. I returned home to Houston Tuesday morning after 16 hours of driving through some of the most treacherous fog and ice I have ever seen. Although the temperatures have reached the 80′s since I’ve been home, it is very nice to be home again. As an odd twist, my last [...]
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.
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 [...]
THE MOUNTAIN WORKSHOPS
Finally a post about my experiences at the The Mountain Workshops! Well last month from the 16th-23rd I was in Danville, Kentucky participating in the wonderful Mountain Workshops put on by Western Kentucky University. It was a lot different from my only other workshop experience thus far, SportsShooter Academy. We picked photo story ideas out of a [...]
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 [...]
