This weekend I was blessed to be able to cover the American League Division Series. The Oakland Athletics were at Comerica Park going up against the Detroit Tigers. My job was to shoot from up top as my colleague worked in the dugout. Here are some pictures and be sure to check out the rest right here.

After finishing my last class for the day I was blessed to be able to head over to the Detroit Pistons practice facilities in Auburn Hills.  There I took portraits of the team and was also able to document media day.  The players were all super easy to work with and it was definitely a good time.  Be sure to check out the rest of the images right here.

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!

Last weekend when I was in Canton, OH photographing the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints and the Enshrinement, I was able to tour the HOF for a little bit and take some pictures. I did not focus on these pictures in my previous blogs that I wrote (here and here) but I though I would share a few pictures now.

Recently I was able to cover the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement in Canton, OH. Going in to it I really did not know what to expect since I have never been to or even watched the Enshrinement on TV. Luckily though, I was able to shoot with a colleague, Charles LeClaire. The two of us arrived almost 6 hours before the event. This gave us time to make sure everything was working and time to get familiar with the surrounding area.
