I recently covered a softball game for Oakland Community College as they hosted St. Clair County Community College in a double header. The weather made for some unique softball pictures since at times it was snowing. Also, I was feeling a bit creative and came up with some different types of shots. Enjoy!

Bowling is not something that gets as much attention in the sports world as other sports do. However, every once in a while you may see a PBA event on ESPN or some other channel. Over the last couple of months I have found myself covering quite a bit of bowling.  It all started two years ago when I covered the 2011 NCAA Bowling Championship at Skore Lanes in Taylor, MI.  Then, after that, the PBA found me and asked me to cover their Detroit Winter Swing.  Recently, I found myself once again covering the 2013 NCAA Bowling Championship.  This time it was at Super Bowl Lanes in Canton, MI.

I very much enjoy photographing golf since there is so much to work with and I enjoy being able to work outdoors.  I always look forward to covering a golf tournament for Oakland Community College since it is usually the only golf I get to photograph throughout the year.  This year I covered the Mott Community College Invitational held at Flint Elks Country Club in Grand Blanc, MI. For most of the day it was nothing but rain, however, for the first few holes it was just a normal nice cloudy day in Michigan. Here are a few photos. Enjoy!

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.

Where do I even begin?  I have been blessed so much this year!  I have been blessed with my family and with the friendships that have grown, as well as the new friendships I have made.  I have been able to further my education and have been able to do a job I love.

It is that time of year again, basketball season!  I am really looking forward to it since basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph.  Having played three years in high school I really enjoy the game and have a good understanding of it, which helps when photographing it.

I was recently blessed to be able to work with the United States Air Force Academy’s athletic department as the Air Force Falcons football team was visiting Ann Arbor to go up against the Michigan Wolverines at Michigan Stadium.  I arrived in Ann Arbor six and a half hours early so that I could meet up with some family and a friend while they were tailgating before the game.  After a few hours of tailgating, I headed over to the stadium with about three hours to go before game time.  Once I got there I met up with the staff from USAFA.  They asked me to shoot some wide images that would capture the Big House.  I told them that I would give them a little bit of everything and at the end of the day they said they were happy with what I provided.  That is always a good thing to hear!

Earlier this week I was blessed to be able to cover Oakland Community College’s volleyball team at their new facility in Auburn Hills. Being the head athletic photographer there and not having too many rules that I need to follow allows me to have greater access during the events. Since that is the case, I try to shoot from a variety of angles that I normally wouldn’t be able to shoot from. One example is the picture above. Below are a few more from their matches and be sure to check out the rest of the images right here!
