Lately I haven’t been able to blog as much as I would like too. It is just hard to sit down and find time to actually blog. I have been super busy shooting for Oakland Community College and US Presswire. Today thought, I would like to share some pictures from the 2011 NJCAA Division II Volleyball Regional Championship at Grand Rapids Community College. Oakland Community College played Owens Community College for the title and they came out on top and will be heading to Nationals! Here are a few pictures and if you would like to purchase some please click here.

I haven’t been blogging lately just because I am having trouble finding the time to sit down and write a little something. However, I did want to share a little bit with you today. I have recently started shooting for Oakland Community College Athletics again. The first sport that is in season for them is volleyball. Volleyball is not a sport that I photograph too often but when I got a chance to, I accepted the challenge to try something a little bit out of the norm for me and see what I could come up with.
Last week I headed over to Grand Valley State University in Allendale, MI. GVSU was the host of the 2011 NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championship. I had the opportunity to cover one day of the tournament for Grand Canyon University. GCU’s Tiffany Hewetson from Brighton, England was in the individual tournament. While shooting for […]
Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph the NCAA Bowling Championship at Skore Lanes in Taylor, MI. It was a three day event and I was photographing it for four of the eight colleges that were there. Those schools were Fairleigh Dickinson University, Vanderbilt University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Kutztown University. Out of those four teams, three of them made it to the final four, and two of those teams made it to the title match. Needless to say I was pretty busy, but thankfully I was able to have fellow photographer, Marek Dziekonski, come out to help me for a little bit. Here are a few photos from the tournament.
I love this time of year. The weather is so nice out and what better way to get outdoors and shoot some softball. Being that baseball was the first sport I started photographing, I always enjoy going out to shoot some baseball and/or softball. I was fortunate enough to be able to photograph Oakland CC […]
Golf is one of the sports that I enjoy photographing the most even if it is raining the whole time and the temperature is only in the low 40’s. This was the case for the Oakland CC Invitational at Pontiac Country Club. You have to love Michigan weather!
Note: Photos are not for sale.
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.
Spring is right around the corner, you can feel it in the air! I was able to go out and enjoy some of this nicer weather the other day and photograph something new to me, airplanes. These planes were big remote controlled planes doing all kinds of stunts in the air. Sometimes they had the plane just hovering! Don’t ask me how that works, but it was pretty sweet. Plane racing is becoming more popular with events such as Red Bull Air Racing, so it was nice to have a chance at photographing something like that.
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.
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.
