Yesterday, I shot the last GC&SU men’s and women’s home basketball games. The Lady Bobcats had a close vistory, 67-61, over Columbus State wednesday night which give them a solid possession of 2nd place in the conference. Althought the Men’s team had a close game as well, Columbus State just played too well for the [...]

Baseball Home Opener

It was a very cold Friday evening, one which managed to send me look for warmth quicker than usual, but our baseball team managed to have quite a game. The excellent pitching of Michael Antonini led the Bobcats to a 9-0 victory in the home opener at John Kurtz Field Friday afternoon. As you can [...]

Yesterday, the Tennis team hosted #10 Lander University at the Centenniel Center Courts and I got to barrow a 400mm f/2.8 from LaCour for the week, so this was a perfect opportunity to try it out. Hope you like what you see!


Baseball Preseason #2

Baseball Preseason #2

Wednesday, I went to get some photos of the Bobcat Baseball team who are favored to win the conference and ranked #2 in preseason Div. II polls. Baseball has always been a challenge for me to shoot and this practice was no different. They ran a lot of hard to photograph drills and made me [...]

Can we say GLASS REMOTE! Oh man, a big thank you to Robert Hanashiro from USA Today for setting up the glass remote and giving me the trigger for the first 5.5 min of the game. I mean geez, I love that basketball photo and I hope you do too. So as you can see [...]


SSA III: Friday

SSA III: Friday

Yesterday I got to shoot some cool sports. First, I started at a Big West Semi-Finals Women’s Soccer Game, which yielded a few cool photos, but the best part was that fact that Matt Brown let me barrow a camera to use as a net cam. So I got to do some remote stuff which [...]

Today was long and great. Horse racing was a very popular class with only 20 spots and 40 students, they did a lottery for the spots and I got lucky and got to go today. We went to Hollywood Park for about 6 hours with Wally Skallj from the L.A. Times and had a great [...]

Last Home Game

Last Home Game

Sunday was the Women’s Soccer team’s last home game of the season. We beat Thomas University 2-0. Above, Sarah Plymale beats out two defenders on the right side of the goal to set up a shot on goal. Sarah is a senior and this was her last home game so she worked very hard for [...]


A.M. Mountain Biking

A.M. Mountain Biking

So I got 8 hours notice for an assignment today. An editor called me at about 8pm last night to see if could take some photos at 8am; if you know anything about me, you would know that I never see the world at this time of the day. But, it is my job, so [...]


October 8th Soccer

October 8th Soccer

The GCSU Women’s Soccer team whooped Georiga Southwestern last sunday 4-0 in a extremely offensive game. It was a lot of fun to shoot because I got a lot of opportunities to shoot since they were in the offensize zone so much. I got some other good shots of goals as well, but I like [...]


SwimCats

SwimCats

Yesterday, I took some photos of the GC&SU Swimming Club called the SwimCats. Their practice was cool, it was outside, so i had a lot of light to work with but it was also at noon, which is one of the worst times of the day to take photos because the light is very harsh. [...]


No more practicing…

No more practicing…

I didn’t have a wedding this weekend, so I was able to go to the Georgia College (white) v Montevallo women’s soccer game today. The first pic is Arielle Bryant making a solid defensive play to keep the ball on Montevallo’s half and ultimately set up a scoring chance. The second is Jamie Nevin’s (#26) [...]


Golf… way to much concetration required.

Golf… way to much concetration required.

Brittany and I went and took pics of the Bobcat Golf team today because we had a photographer who wasn’t able to finish the assigment. We took it, had fun, and got some interesting photos of the Golf team. My favorite is the shot of Brittany because it shows how much wind there was on [...]

It’s that time of year again!

For Women’s Soccer, I mean! We are doing a preview story of the team for the first issue of the Colonnade, so I went to practice today to get some images for the story. When I first got there, they were doing this huge circle drill which was almost impossible to photograph, so I tried [...]


Sports Shooter Academy III

Sports Shooter Academy III

I got accepted to the Sport Shooter Academy!!!! But, I didn’t get into the Eddie Adams workshop. Oh well, I think that SSAIII is going to be much more useful with all the hands on experience that I will gain from this workshop. It is Nov. 1-5 in Orange County, Calif. We will have press [...]

I got a new lens yesterday! A Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS! So today was day 2 of the NCAA Division II Regional Baseball tournement, that is being held at my school and I wanted to go play with my new toy, so I used my job at the Colonnade to get me in to take [...]

The past two days, I have had the pleasure of shooting the Atlanta Braves games. It was an assignment for the Marketing Department at the AJC that I got through LaCour. I had a great time and met some very nice photographers as well as some not so nice ones. The experience was incedible, I [...]
