Monday morning I received an email from my editor asking if I was interested in covering the Horizon League Tournament championship game the next day. I was open and thought it would be a great chance to shoot some college basketball, something that I don’t shoot that often. With little time to waste, I had to plan my trip. Luckily I was able to find a hotel nearby that was not already booked full for the night. I made the trip down to Dayton, OH and arrived early to check into my hotel. After checking in, I made my way over to Wright State University. The game was held at WSU’s Nutter Center in Dayton. The Wright State Raiders were hosting the Milwaukee Panthers in this important match up, with the winner guaranteed a spot in the big dance. Here are some of the images from Milwaukee’s win. Enjoy!

Bowling is not something that gets as much attention in the sports world as other sports do. However, every once in a while you may see a PBA event on ESPN or some other channel. Over the last couple of months I have found myself covering quite a bit of bowling. It all started two years ago when I covered the 2011 NCAA Bowling Championship at Skore Lanes in Taylor, MI. Then, after that, the PBA found me and asked me to cover their Detroit Winter Swing. Recently, I found myself once again covering the 2013 NCAA Bowling Championship. This time it was at Super Bowl Lanes in Canton, MI.

Where do I even begin? I have been blessed so much this year! I have been blessed with my family and with the friendships that have grown, as well as the new friendships I have made. I have been able to further my education and have been able to do a job I love.

Last week I was blessed to be able to photograph the season opener for the Wayne State women’s basketball team. The Warriors hosted the Lewis Flyers at the Matthaei Center. The Warriors fought hard but fell 75-71. Here are a few pictures from the game.

It is that time of year again, basketball season! I am really looking forward to it since basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph. Having played three years in high school I really enjoy the game and have a good understanding of it, which helps when photographing it.

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!

Searching for Perfection

Last weekend I was blessed to be able to spend a few days in Holland, MI. Hope College was hosting the NCAA women’s division III Final Four basketball tournament. The weather that weekend was unbelievable! I was fortunate enough to have some free time to explore downtown Holland, which seemed to be a pretty cool town and hopefully I can go back one day to explore more.

Alright, down to the business now. The reason I was there was because once again, I was able to photograph the tournament for Amherst College. The Lord Jeffs were looking to defend their title from last year’s Final Four and they were also going for a perfect record with no losses in the 2011/2012 season and post season. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so. In the semi-final round they lost a very close game to George Fox, and in the consolation game they lost again to St Thomas (MN). The consolation game was a very emotional game for the seniors of the team being that it was their last game. Here are some photos…

Great time at the Great Lakes Invitational

I had the opportunity to photograph the the Great Lakes Invitational for Michigan Tech University. It was cool to be able to do it because a few years ago I went as a fan. When I was there as a fan I think I watched the photographers more than I did the games, but I learned a lot by watching them. For example, I never knew they used strobes up in the catwalk, which is kind of ironic because this was the first time I set up a remote in the catwalks. Tip: Don’t look down!

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to once again head over to Michigan State in East Lansing. This time I was working for the University of Nebraska-Omaha as they took on Tom Izzo and the Spartans. UNO is in it’s first year of Division I basketball and this was their biggest game yet. Here are a few images from the game and be sure to check out the gallery.

This past week was a crazy one at that. Super busy but that is a good thing for sure. I started off on Black Friday shooting for Utah Valley University as they faced Oakland University. More of those pictures here. The last three games were for US Presswire. The 2nd game was the Nashville Predators at the Detroit Red Wings. More of those pictures here. The 3rd game I went to Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti. EMU was hosting Michigan State University. More of those pictures here. And lastly I went back to Rochester, MI to photograph Tennessee at Oakland University. Turned out to be a great game! More of those pictures here. Also, be sure to click on “Read More” to see more!
