Last night I was able to photograph the Detroit Pistons as they hosted the Sacramento Kings at Little Caesars Arena. One of the team photographers was awesome enough to let me set up a remote under the basket. Above is one from the remote which gives a unique angle. Enjoy!

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to shoot the Columbus Blue Jackets as they took on the Detroit Red Wings at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.  For this game I wanted to set up an overhead remote, so I was sure to arrive extra early.  When setting up a remote there are a few essentials that I use.

Now that school has started back up I find myself shooting less and studying more.  I don’t like it but just have to remind myself that it is for only 15 weeks. It also occurred to me that there are people in Nicaragua (and all over the world) that would love to go to college if only they could afford it.  It made me realized that even though I dislike it so much, that I am truly blessed to be able to have this hardship of all the work and stress that college brings.  Anyways, here is some recent work I was able to do, four basketball games in 30 hours.

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!

I recently had the great opportunity to travel over to East Lasning, MI and photograph the University of Arkansas Little Rock as they took on Michigan State University at the Breslin Center.  I was glad to be able to shoot the game because basketball is one of my favorite sports to photograph. I was shooting for the UALR and also for US Presswire.  The Spartans defeated the Trojans with a 69-47 victory.

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.
