Last night the San Antonio Spurs were going up against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. With the recent firing of the Detroit Pistons head coach Maurice Cheeks, I wanted to arrive extra early to make sure I was able to get a few pictures of the interim head coach John Loyer before the game. With that here are some of the pictures from the game. Enjoy!

As the athletic photographer at Oakland Community College my job entails a wide variety of photo coverage.  I find myself shooting game action, banquets and portraits.  Most recently I photographed the softball and golf team portraits for their upcoming seasons.

This past weekend I once again had the opportunity to work with the Professional Bowling Association (PBA). It was last year that I first had this great opportunity to work with them when they came to Detroit. It seems whenever there is a bowling event in town you can find me there, whether it is the NCAA Championship or the PBA. So, when the PBA asked me to cover this year’s event I was more than glad to do it.

This year the event was at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, MI. I was there for three days while ESPN was taping their shows. There were four league quarterfinals, two league semifinals, a Super Clash match-up and the Tournament of Champions. With over 2,000 images to go through, here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Last night’s game was a match up between the Detroit Pistons and the New Orleans Pelicans at The Palace of Auburn Hills. The game was an exciting one which came down to the final seconds. It was tied with seconds left and the Pelicans had the ball. New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Eric Gordon was able to drive to the basket and make the shot winning the game for his team. Even with the lost, Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond had a dominating game with 20 rebounds and 21 points. Here are some images from the game as the Detroit Pistons hosted the New Orleans Pelicans at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Enjoy!

Last night I was blessed to photograph the Oakland Community College Raiders as they hosted the Macomb Community College Monarchs in Auburn Hills, MI. After an hour delay, due to road conditions, the women took the court first and battled it out. The men were up next and when the night was over Macomb had taken a game and Oakland had taken a game.

While photographing the game it hit me that it has been four years this month since I began working with the athletic staff at OCC. Those four years have flown by and I am very grateful to be able to work with everyone there. I hope that we are able to continue and have much success in the future, but for now I hope you all enjoy some of the pictures from last night.

The last two days here in southeast Michigan have been full of snow and arctic temperatures.  With no school or work due to road conditions, I have been hanging out around the house. Even with all the crazy weather, there has been a vast amount of birds hanging out in my backyard. I decided to try my luck and see if one of these guys would let me get close enough.  Here are some of the images, and be sure to check out some of my other nature images.
