I just recently was blessed to be able to cover the Detroit Lions as they hosted the St. Louis Rams at Ford Field. Here are a few images and be sure to check out the rest right here.
Last night I was blessed to be able to photograph the last preseason game the Detroit Lions had as they took on the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field. Please, be sure to check out the rest of the images right here.
***I am now back at school and I will be keeping my post shorter but I will still try to at least post some pictures from the events I cover.***
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!
Most events that I cover consist of some type of fast action, whether it be a football, racing, basketball, etc. However, recently I was able to cover a Slovak Festival. This was a little bit of a change of pace for me. I didn’t have to shoot with both eyes open and could just relax and try to shoot creatively in a different environment. Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy!
Last weekend I was blessed to be able to head out to Brooklyn, MI, which is home of the Michigan International Speedway. MIS was the host for Pure Michigan 400, a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race.
I wanted to quickly share a few photos from the preseason game that I recently photographed for US Presswire. The game was at Ford Field where the Detroit Lions hosted the Cleveland Browns. The Lions lost in the last minute when the Browns made a field goal. Enjoy!
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.
This weekend I had the opportunity to start off the 2012-2013 NFL season by photographing the Detroit Lions first and second day of training camp at their headquarters in Allen Park. I am really looking forward to this season for many reasons. First off, I hope the Lions will be able to go a little farther in the playoffs, and maybe even be able to host a home playoff game. I have also come to really like photographing football. I have never been a big fan of football but I am really starting to like photographing it. Here are some images from the two days spent at their training facility. Be sure to check back in about a week for more NFL images from next weekend.
Photographing the US Senior Open at Indianwood Golf and Country Club in Lake Orion, Michigan took me back to the days of the Buick Open that was held at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Growing up in Grand Blanc as a kid was exciting for me when the Buick Open would come into town. You could drive by the golf course and see all the people watching, and maybe even be able to see a PGA player. Then there was always watching it live on TV, knowing it was happening just a few minutes away. It was also exciting watching the blimp from our backyard while playing golf with wiffle balls in the yard. One fonder memory though, is going to the Family Days. They weren’t that special, but just being there during the practice round and being able to experience all the hype in person was pretty cool. It was special because we got to ride a bus, and a homeschooler doesn’t get to ride one very often. It was a good time when the Buick Open came into town.
When I first heard that the US Senior Open was coming to Lake Orion I was very excited and immediately began to think of possible clients. However, I was lucky enough to have my editor contact me asking me if I wanted to cover it. I obliviously said yes and counted down the days until it started since I love photographing golf.
