Last week has been a super busy week. Busy can be a good thing, though. I was blessed to have the opportunity to be able to photograph four basketball games, take four exams, and write a ethnographic report. With all this craziness, I still wanted to share some of the photos from the basketball games. The first game was at The Palace of Auburn Hills as the Detroit Pistons hosted the New Orleans Hornets. The second game was again at The Palace as the Detroit Pistons hosted the Washington Wizards. Then the last two games were at Oakland Community College as the men’s and women’s teams hosted Mott Community College.

Every once in a while a celebrity will be spotted at the games. As I was shooting warm ups, New Orleans Hornets point guard Greivis Vasquez started walking towards me. He then greeted someone standing right behind me. I then turned around and saw that it was Jesse Jackson and took the picture below.
