Sum more Soccer

So as I show up to cover a big rival soccer game I found this used condom on the playing field and I had to take a pic of it. lol. Anyways, back to the soccer, it was a physical game with lots of kids getting hurt but will all survive, plus they always make for dynamic images without trying to sound too heartless. Enjoy!

Sum Soccer

Believe it or not I wasn't assigned anything for the day. I'm scheduled late on Thursdays but in order to let everyone have a piece of the play-off pie I had to relinquish Game 3 for Game 4. So I went out with our intern to a soccer game.

Battle of the Bands

So I had never really covered concerts much but I had a few ideas I wanted to tinker with along with producing a video for our on-line content. Well, as it turns out my speedlite went tits up on me (I seriously have no idea why) so here I am ISO maxed out and motor driving the piss outta my Mark II trying to stop action at a 40th of a second during head-banging. Well this is what I got.






No quitter

Brandon here has had a rough life you could say. As a child he suffered major head trauma and had to re-learn math, english, how to ride a bike, etc. Then after 5 years of rehab he suffered another accident, he slipped off a cliff and broke his neck, now attached to a wheelchair for life Brandon starred in a Collin Raye music video and is speaking to audiences all around about challenges. Great kid, a bit too religious for my blood but inspiring to say the least. Oh and the truck was in the video hence the best portait I could come up with on 15 mins. of notice.


Some good ole' fashion prep Softball

Here's some softball images I took the other day. The girls seemed to be enjoying the weather as much as the game it self at times.



Fresh


I came across a blog a photographer I had met back in 05 had created and while digging a bit deeper found that we knew many of the same people. While looking through his and other familiar faces' blogs I decided it was time to create my very own. Here's a self-portrait to start off with.
