The Division 1 Women’s Volleyball championship is one I’ve made a point of covering for the last couple of years. I personally enjoy going back and photographing the same championship more than one time. I tend to make better, more thought out, images when I can properly plan ahead of time. I’m already looking forward to next year. Cheers.

Women’s College Cup

December 15, 2011

As 2011 comes to a close a new championship season begins. With each new season beginning we all start traveling to various cities throughout the country to gather images for the NCAA. Last week was the Women’s College Cup in Kennesaw, Georgia. Here are a few images I personally like from the event.

National High School Finals Rodeo

August 12, 2011

The sound of the tailgate barely closing on a car full of assorted gear marked the beginning of a trip up to Laramie, WY for my co-worker Matt Sewick and myself. There we met our company’s founder Mr. Rich Clarkson to begin making still pictures and photographs of the moving variety for the National High School Rodeo Association which is based here in Denver,CO. Rich has been photographing the National High School Finals Rodeo now for a little over 10 years. The video piece is currently being assembled by Matt but in the meantime I thought I’d throw out a few of my favorite stills from the experience. Thanks to everyone with the National High School Rodeo Association for making this a truly unique experience.

Never a dull moment at the ESPN Summer X Games in Los Angeles,California. My job is one fluid movement from venue to venue making frames to appease the editors all while making frames that please myself. Here are a few from the event. Cheers.

Mountain West Conference Baseball

June 2, 2011

Seven baseball games over three days. Two slices of pizza. Three In-N-Out burgers with fries. Several rumors of a rattlesnake on the field. Four to five San Diego State University student fans heckling non-stop for two games. Two consecutive night chasing moments in fading evening sunlight. One surprise champion, the University of New Mexico.

The 2011 Men’s Division I Volleyball Championship

May 10, 2011

State College, PA is part of our country I’ve randomly had on my radar for quite some time. Primarily the fly fishing, but this week I had the opportunity to make the trip for the 2011 Men’s Division I Volleyball Championship. With the championship being held at historic Rec Hall on the Penn State campus I knew it would be visually pleasing and challenging all at once to walk away with great images. With that being said here are a few frames that I thought worked out well. I converted these into black and white in post merely because that’s what it felt like when I was there. A throwback in time. Enjoy.

Mountain West Conference

March 25, 2011

For several years now Rich Clarkson and Associates have had the Mountain West Conference photography contract. In that time, we’ve come to expect big things from the annual basketball tournament typically held in bustling Las Vegas, Nevada. This year Jimmer Fredette was the big show. While photographing 16 games in a span of five days may be tough on the legs and back it was all worth it to see some fantastic Men’s and Women’s basketball. These are a few of my favorites from the games.

2011 Winter X Games

February 4, 2011

For the fourth season now I’ve had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to document the Winter X Games for the fine folks over at ESPN.com/action. It’s here where I discover, explore and push my visual style to the edge. The crew. I cannot say enough about the group of talented and passionate folks we encounter along the way. Thank you. Thank you all for letting this happen each and every year. Twice a year in fact. More specifically I have the opportunity to work closely with good friends such as Trevor Brown Jr., Mark Kohlman and Brett Wilhelm.

Women’s DI Volleyball Championship

December 31, 2010

More often than not I find myself taking sports assignments for sports that I’m typically not that great at shooting. For the end of this year I decided that my challenge would be Division I Women’s Volleyball in Kansas City, MO. Remotes, behind the scenes and action were all deployed. Here’s a few of my personal favorites. Cheers.

DII Cross Country

December 18, 2010

Brrrrrr…it was so undeniably cold. I arrived more than an hour prior to start time to get a feel for the course and my fingers were froze through after 5 minutes. I was smiling though. Smiling simply because “bad” weather makes for great photographs. I will take frozen fingers in trade for good photos almost any day.
