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.

Nicaragua – A Country that Gives

As many of you know the biggest thing I photograph is sports, which would make me a sports photographer. However, when it really comes down to it, I am a photojournalist. I love telling stories with photographs, whether I am photographing a sporting event, a wedding, etc. Recently, I had a new opportunity to photograph something I had never photographed before, but something I have been wanting to do for a very long time. I traveled down to Nicaragua where I documented a mission trip.

NCAA Bowling Championship

Posted on by admin

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.

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.

Oakland CC sneaks by with 1.1 seconds left

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.
