If I’m going to drive four hours down to Ft. Myers to shoot one baseball game, it better be worth it. And it was. Great light to start the game, and the home team came out on top. In two games at JetBlue park, the Williston Red Devils didn’t allow a run. Not to shabby. JetBlue is […]

Shooting the Final Four has been on the top of my sporting events to attend bucket list for years. I grew up a basketball fan and watched the tournament each year. I even took vacation days on Thursday and Friday one year just to watch the first rounds. The Final Four is on a whole […]

Next up, the Gators flew to Memphis for their fourth straight trip to the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. They faced off against UCLA then Dayton to finally reach the Final Four. Dayton, by the way, won my award for best fans and band. They filled the FedEx Forum for both games and easily made […]

After a few days off, Joel (online stud) and I drove down to Orlando for the second and third rounds. (Lets be honest, they’re the first and second rounds still) The routine of covering the NCAA Tournament is pretty set in stone. For example, a site that has games on Thursday and Saturday goes pretty […]

The Gators were presented the SEC Regular season champion trophy before their first game against Mizzou. And I agree with Billy Donovan, it’s weird to present a team a championship trophy before a game, but whatever, it made for fun photos in the locker room after their first round win. Florida made fairly easy work […]

I just photographed a guy who likes to rap on the corner of the street here in Gainesville. He kept saying “Let’s get this party started!” So that’s stuck in my head as the only phrase to start this series of posts about March basketball. Let’s Get this Party Started! The Florida Gators had quite […]

The plan was simple, Florida beats Auburn to win a school-record 18th straight game, I get a good photo of the players celebrating, we put that photo on the front page. Pretty common plan for newspapers. On paper, Florida should smoke Auburn by 27 points. And blowouts usually don’t produce good celebration photos. Good thing […]

Good Lord, I’ve heard about this. Cat Juggling! I’ll be taking donations to my PayPal account to stop this horrible tradition. January got off to a pretty good start as far as my photos are concerned. I didn’t post anything from individual assignments so I figured I’d just do a best of January thing and […]

During a grade school History of Kansas lesson, my teacher said “If you were born in Kansas, you’re a Jayhawk.” I said “No I’m not, I’m a Wildcat.” She was referring of course to the mythical Jayhawk creature thing as a state of Kansas figure, not necessarily KU’s mascot. I didn’t care, I was NOT […]
