Now that school has started back up I find myself shooting less and studying more. I don’t like it but just have to remind myself that it is for only 15 weeks. It also occurred to me that there are people in Nicaragua (and all over the world) that would love to go to college if only they could afford it. It made me realized that even though I dislike it so much, that I am truly blessed to be able to have this hardship of all the work and stress that college brings. Anyways, here is some recent work I was able to do, four basketball games in 30 hours.

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to once again head over to Michigan State in East Lansing. This time I was working for the University of Nebraska-Omaha as they took on Tom Izzo and the Spartans. UNO is in it’s first year of Division I basketball and this was their biggest game yet. Here are a few images from the game and be sure to check out the gallery.

This past week was a crazy one at that. Super busy but that is a good thing for sure. I started off on Black Friday shooting for Utah Valley University as they faced Oakland University. More of those pictures here. The last three games were for US Presswire. The 2nd game was the Nashville Predators at the Detroit Red Wings. More of those pictures here. The 3rd game I went to Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti. EMU was hosting Michigan State University. More of those pictures here. And lastly I went back to Rochester, MI to photograph Tennessee at Oakland University. Turned out to be a great game! More of those pictures here. Also, be sure to click on “Read More” to see more!

I recently had the great opportunity to travel over to East Lasning, MI and photograph the University of Arkansas Little Rock as they took on Michigan State University at the Breslin Center. I was glad to be able to shoot the game because basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph. I was shooting for the UALR and also for US Presswire. The Spartans defeated the Trojans with a 69-47 victory.

This past weekend I had the awesome opportunity to photograph the Women’s Division III Final Four held at Illinois Wesleyan in Bloomington, IL. I was covering the event for Amherst College and also for a newspaper in Massachusetts.

Oakland CC sneaks by with 1.1 seconds left

NOTE: I want to apologize for covering my images with watermarks that cover the whole image. However, I have no other choice since I have seen my pictures appearing in various spots without my permission.

I photographed my last basketball game for Oakland CC’s 2010-2011 season last week. The game was held at Oakland CC’s Highland Lake campus where the Delta College Pioneers, from the Midland/Bay City area, took on the Raiders. The Oakland CC Raiders won the game, but it wasn’t an easy one. It was a very close game and both the Pioneers and the Raiders led at different parts of the game. With just seconds left in the game the score was 82-82. Oakland CC’s #1, Daniel McClendon, drove and kicked it out to the corner where Richard Hill, #14, was open for a three pointer, which he hit with just 1.1 seconds left. It was a lot of fun to be there photographing it and it was an awesome game. But wait, it gets better. Tomorrow, 3/1/2011, Delta will travel back down to play Oakland CC again. This time it is playoffs. The two teams will be playing each other in the first round of the MCCAA Tournament. That game is sure to be another fun one.

Oakland CC vs SC4

This past Saturday I had the opportunity to photograph two more basketball games for Oakland CC. It happened to be Pink Zone so the women’s team wore pink. They also had t-shirts for sale and a silent action going on to raise money.

Oakland CC defeats Macomb

This past week I photographed the Oakland CC vs Macomb CC men’s and women’s basketball games. Being that the games were conference games with about a month left in the regular season made for some intense moments. In the end, Oakland CC men’s and women’s teams both won their games putting themselves closer to the playoffs.

Present vs. Past

Posted on October 24, 2010February 2, 2022 by admin

I was able to photograph Oakland CC’s alumni basketball games yesterday. I was glad to do so. Basketball is one of the sports that I really like to shoot.

The present Raiders played the alumni. It was a good time. It was a fun environment, but also a very competitive environment. The men Raiders were not so fortunate. They lost the game to the alumni in a very close game, 81-78.

Playoff Basketball: Lakeland vs. Oakland

Posted on March 7, 2010February 2, 2022 by admin

For my second playoff game of the week I headed down to Perrysburg, Ohio where Oakland’s women’s team was playing in the regional tournament. Despite the drive, I was all for going down. I wanted to shoot in a different gym and have my first out of state job.
