Well here goes. Pistons here we come.

For the past two years, I have had the privilege to be able to photograph the Detroit Pistons at every home game. This has proved to be a huge learning experience for me. This year will be my third year, and hopefully not my last. It was at the Pistons that I first started toContinue reading “Well here goes. Pistons here we come.”

Been a while

Its been a while since I have made a post. Still shooting many different things and keeping busy, from Notre Dame Prep’s basketball games to going to court to photograph an alleged murderer, it has been an interesting couple of months.  Since the last time I posted I have come to the realization I needContinue reading “Been a while”

Detroit Zoo

  A day without creating images seems like a lost day to me sometimes, even when I accomplish other tasks that just may be more important. The other day, Katie and I went to the zoo, so naturally I took the opportunity to shoot. It was a nice day in the 70s so not uberContinue reading “Detroit Zoo”

Chicago Bulls Vs. Detroit Pistons / Salt and Pepa Halftime

Last night’s game was a refreshing change from the loses we have sustained for a while now. It was good to see the Pistons finally win a game. Though I am told they will get a better draft pick the more games they lose, so maybe they just should have lost. I showed up earlyContinue reading “Chicago Bulls Vs. Detroit Pistons / Salt and Pepa Halftime”

Woods, Kites, Smiles, Laughs, and Deer Poop

Today was a fun assignment for the paper. I was assigned to photograph a nature camp at the Lloyd Stage Nature Center in Troy. When I arrived, the group was going on a nature walk. I quickly tried to get ahead of the group so that I would be able to capture the group walkingContinue reading “Woods, Kites, Smiles, Laughs, and Deer Poop”

“A Chorus Line”

Today I was assigned to photograph a musical at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts.  Since I am using a 1d mk ii and a 50d, I was a little worried about the iso performance in the dark theatre, but I was surprised. I have not tried making a print of any of myContinue reading ““A Chorus Line””

Pistons Vs. Knicks

Last night’s game against the Knicks was pretty exciting, and was a close game throughout. I would have liked to see the Pistons win, but we can’t have everything we want can we. I got a couple images I am very pleased with, and of course am looking at them and considering how I couldContinue reading “Pistons Vs. Knicks”

Inspiration

Today while working on assignment for the paper I met a very interesting and inspiring individual. He takes care of and maintains a 1970 Mustang which he as owned since it was built. The inspiring part comes when you learn that the man is blind. He cannot view his hard work the way that mostContinue reading “Inspiration”

Youth Basketball

Today I shot my cousin max’s basketball game up at Troy High. It was the second to last game of their season. Shooting youth basketball is a lot different than shooting the Pistons, but has some similarities as well, because the same game is being played, just on different levels. I had to bump myContinue reading “Youth Basketball”

Detroit Pistons Vs. The Houston Rockets 10/31/12

On the 31st I had another chance to shoot the Detroit Pistons in action. I also had the pleasure of seeing James Harden’s first game of the year with the Houston Rockets. Yes the Pistons lost, but it was a fun game. I did not have use of a set of strobes for this gameContinue reading “Detroit Pistons Vs. The Houston Rockets 10/31/12”

Detroit Pistons Vs. Atlanta Hawks

This past Friday I had the opportunity to shoot the Detroit Pistons vs. the Atlanta Hawks at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I had the opportunity to shoot the game because of a connection I was able to make through some family and friends to the official photographer for the Pistons. I am extremely gratefulContinue reading “Detroit Pistons Vs. Atlanta Hawks”

Birmingham Seaholm Water Polo Vs. Chelsea and Troy High

I am getting a little better at water polo. This weekend I  shot water polo twice. The quality of my shots are getting better, but they still need some touching up in lightroom. The lighting in the pools is absolutely horrible, even with a 2.8 lens I am still slightly dissapointed. I am fortunate thatContinue reading “Birmingham Seaholm Water Polo Vs. Chelsea and Troy High”
