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.

A few weekends ago I was able to photograph something totally new to me. I was able to photograph my first IndyCar race, not only that but it was the first car race I had ever photographed. I had never photographed cars before, even though I am from the Motor City, and it was definitely different compared to anything else I have photographed. The loud roar of the engines and the smell of the fuel in the air added to the atmosphere. I spent twelve hours at the track, but I had a blast and the time flew by.  You can view all the photos here.

This past weekend I photographed a doubleheader as Oakland Community College hosted Macomb Community College. Macomb CC came from behind to win the first game in extra innings before again winning the second game. Here are a few pictures from the day.

The winter that we had, or lack there of, was very mild compared to most winters here in Michigan. When we had record breaking temps back in March I was able to get my first round of golf under my belt for the year. Today, I was able to photograph my first golf tournament of the year, which was the Oakland Community College Invitational. Being the athletic photographer at Oakland CC I have photographed this tournament the previous two years and those two years consisted of golf, rain, snow, and some more rain. Not the most enjoyable weather. However, today was awesome! Sun, more sun, and even more sun made for a really enjoyable time and some nice light. Here are some pictures. They are all black and white but were shot in color and converted. Also, be sure to see who got a little hungry during the tournament. Hope you enjoy!

This post will be dedicated to the things you don’t see throughout the year, the things I don’t share.  If you follow me and most of my work you know that I sell myself as a still photographer – not any kind of still photographer, but as a sports photographer and also a wedding photographer.    I attack sports and weddings in almost the same way, that is with a photojournalist point of view.  Whether I am trying to capture the emotion of an athlete after a big game or capture the emotion of the bride and her father as they walk down the aisle, I shoot the same way.  When photographing other such events I have a similar approach.  Since I never blog or show these pictures in my portfolio, I will dedicate this post solely to all the other events I photograph throughout the year.

I was able to photograph Oakland CC’s alumni basketball games yesterday. I was glad to do so. Basketball is one of the sports that I really like to shoot.

The present Raiders played the alumni. It was a good time. It was a fun environment, but also a very competitive environment.  The men Raiders were not so fortunate. They lost the game to the alumni in a very close game, 81-78.
