Oakland CC Softball Portraits

I was asked to photograph the individual portraits for the Oakland CC’s softball team and also to take the team picture. To save me a trip we scheduled the shoot before a basketball game I was going to photograph for Oakland CC. Above is a team picture where we were having some fun, and below is just an individual portrait.

Washington DC

A few weeks ago I received a call saying that Marek D. had recommended me to take his place in covering a group from the Detroit area that was traveling to Washington DC to participate in the March for Life.  First off I was honored that he had recommend me, and secondly I was glad to accepted this job since it did not interfere with my class schedule.  Here are a few pictures from the four days of the trip there and back.  Also there was a video that was put together with my photos and videos that I took.

What you don’t see – 2010

A Tim Fuller Film 2010 | Music: Tarrega by Recuerdos de la Alhambra

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.

Present vs. Past

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.

Baseball at this time of year?

Recently, I was going through my pictures on my harddrive. I was trying to organized everything and clean it out a little. I realized that I never posted any of the pictures from a baseball tournament I had photographed a few months back. Since baseball is still in season with the World Series, I thought I might post a few photos from it.
