Last week has been a super busy week. Busy can be a good thing, though. I was blessed to have the opportunity to be able to photograph four basketball games, take four exams, and write a ethnographic report. With all this craziness, I still wanted to share some of the photos from the basketball games. The first game was at The Palace of Auburn Hills as the Detroit Pistons hosted the New Orleans Hornets. The second game was again at The Palace as the Detroit Pistons hosted the Washington Wizards. Then the last two games were at Oakland Community College as the men’s and women’s teams hosted Mott Community College.

It has been a hard task to keep up with blogging while also going to school. As much as I want to get to it, school has to come first.  Today though, I did want to share a recent event that I photographed for the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) as they came to Detroit. The event took place over an entire week, however I was just there for the last two days as ESPN was filming their shows. The actual event took place at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park, MI.

Earlier this week I was blessed to be able to photograph the Detroit Pistons as they hosted the Golden State Warriors at The Palace of Auburn Hills. I always look forward to photographing basketball and it is one of my favorite sports to photograph.  It is always a nice way to break away from school and have a good time working. This game was a very close game and the Pistons came up short as the Warriors won by just 7 points. Please, be sure to check out the rest of the images right here.

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to photograph the World Series. I had been covering the Tigers in the ALDS and ALCS and each round became busier and busier. So, with the World Series I was sure to arrive extra early to beat the traffic. It was also important to arrive early so that we could cover the interviews, press conferences, batting practices, etc. Once arriving there, I met up with my colleagues. I was working with a team of four other photographers and two on site editors. My job was to photograph the batters head on from right center field during the game.
