Who needs the red zone?

Who needs the red zone?

First of all, I hate the phrase “Take State.”  If you have a team in the state tournament in any sport or competition, never use that phrase. Just had to get that out. Now then, I just wrapped up shooting the 1A state championship game between Trenton and Blountstown at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. […]

Basketball Media Day

Basketball Media Day

Basketball is right around the corner. In my book, the season tips-off with the annual media day at UF. All the players gather in the practice gym for portraits and interviews. The players are always fun to work with and usually put up with crazy requests from the photographers. I wanted to do something a […]

Crashing a tailgate

Crashing a tailgate

I’ve photographed a TON of tailgating before football games… at all levels. So much so that it’s almost becoming a chore. Until I slap myself and say “come on, I’m outside shooting people having a good time.” But this season, I made a rule. No photographs of people playing corn hole, beer pong or flip […]

South and VERY south Florida

South and VERY south Florida

This post will be mostly about the photos… but here’s a quick rundown of my Sept. 6-10. Shoot the Florida vs Miami football game at Sun Life Stadium. (My last trip there was for Super Bowl XLIV) Miami fans can really tailgate. The game didn’t go Florida’s way, but who cares. It was cloudy all […]

Going Green... Monster

Going Green… Monster

Gainesville had two local teams playing for the state baseball championship on Thursday in Ft. Myers. Just so happened to be played on the field where the Boston Red Sox have spring training. And from what I heard it’s an exact replica. I’ve never been to Boston, but at least I know what Fenway kind […]

Mother Nature is a softball fan

Mother Nature is a softball fan

The plan was to drive to Vero Beach on Friday, shoot some softball games. Sleep. Wake up Saturday and shoot a game, then drive home. But I guess Mother Nature is a softball fan and wanted to celebrate Mother’s day by watching the 6A Florida State Softball game. The Championship game on Saturday made it […]

Late night run

Late night run

Florida students gathered for a not-so-typical 5k run. The gun went off at midnight. Meaning, about the time I usually hit the sack, I was driving to campus for an assignment. But like my boss said when he assigned it “it’s right up your ally.” It’s quite a challenge to shoot runners in the dark. […]

Week in Pictures and Thoughts on Boston

Week in Pictures and Thoughts on Boston

One assignment this past week didn’t stand out enough for it’s own post, so I’m combing some of my favorites. But let me start with some comments about the events in Boston. As a runner, a journalist, a photographer and a human, what happened at the finish line took quite a toll on me. I’ve […]

Famous non-golfers on a famous golf coruse

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s needs to take one for the team and spend an entire Saturday on a beautiful golf course taking photos of celebrities. Saturday was the annual Tim Tebow Golf Classic to raise money for his foundation. And for the Gainesville Sun, any story or photo gallery with the word Tebow […]

Setting a Screen

Setting a Screen

I’m back in Texas for the second weekend in a row. This time to shoot Florida’s Sweet 16 game against everyone’s favorite team left in the tournament, Florida Gulf Coast. When I walked into Cowboys Stadium, I saw the screen and thought “Uh, that’s not so big. I don’t see what all the hype’s about.” […]
