A few weeks ago I was approached by a Korean company to do some work for them. First off, I was impressed that they found me because it means the website and blogging are working! But I was also excited to be able to shoot internationally. The job was to cover Shin-Soo Choo as he and the Texas Rangers were in Detroit taking on the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.

Everything did not go as planned, but in this field of work you have to be ready and able to adjust. I had arrived very early so that I could cover batting practice which was one of the requests I was given. However, the Rangers did not take take batting practice. Then Choo was not playing left field like he usually does. He was the designated hitter for this game, which meant that the only action I could get of him would be batting and base running. Fortunately for me, he started off the game with a single and scored during the first inning. Here are some more pictures of Choo!

I have been photographing professional sports for almost three years now. I have been blessed to be able to cover various baseball events, even including a World Series. However, I have never covered a regular season MLB game, that is until last night when the Chicago White Sox were in town taking on the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park in downtown Detroit. Enjoy!

After what seemed like a never ending winter, this week has turned out to be a very nice one.  In the past week I have been able to get out and work in this great weather.  I have enjoyed being able to do so!  Recently I was able to photograph the Oakland Community College Invitational at Pontiac Country Club.  The day was gorgeous and it was great to be back on the links.  Enjoy!

This past weekend I went out to Ann Arbor to photograph the Michigan Wolverines as the football team held their annual spring game at Michigan Stadium. The last time I was at the Big House it was snowing and about 50 degrees cooler, so I was delighted that this time was much warmer and sunnier.  Here are some of the pictures from the nice sunny day out in Ann Arbor. Enjoy!

Earlier this week I found myself at The Palace of Auburn Hills as the Milwaukee Bucks were in town taking on the Detroit Pistons. This was my last Pistons game for the season.  The season flew by so fast and I am looking forward to getting back on the court in a few months.  Here are some of the images from the evening. Enjoy!

Recently the University of Toledo was hosting the first and second rounds of the NCAA’s Women’s Basketball Tournament. When I saw that the Vanderbilt Commodores would be heading up from Nashville, TN, I sent a quick email to the SID at Vandy. Over the years I have had the opportunity to build up a relationship with the athletic staff there. In the past I have gotten to know the SID through covering the NCAA Bowling Championship for them in 2013 and 2011. So, when he said he needed a photographer, I was glad to be able to have another opportunity to work with them once again.

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!

Earlier this week I was able to shoot Sophomore Night for the Oakland Community College athletic department. Wayne County Community College District was in Auburn Hills to take on the Raiders. The first game was the women’s game and then the men were set to play after. The two schools ended up taking one game each, with the men winning by a basket in the last few seconds. Here are some unique perspectives I came up with and a few game action shots.

Please note that you can click on any of the picture to see more images from the game. Enjoy!
