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.

2010 Mountain West Conference Soccer
November 10, 2010
It’s 89 degrees. I’m on the top of a parking garage on the San Diego State University campus. Oh yeah, I flew in from Denver wearing jeans, a jacket, and a fleece vest. Time to go change. That particular parking garage roof is home to the very soccer field where the 2010 Mountain West Conference Women’s Soccer Championships were held. Three days of chaotic soccer action have me grinning ear to ear as the suns light becomes beautifully directional. I’m in photographic heaven. Enjoy some of my favorites.

Transition
September 30, 2010
The transition of summer’s warmth to autumn’s cold fall mornings can only mean one thing. Opening day in Colorado’s high country. Last year I had the distinct pleasure of catching opening day action. Loveland, the very first to open in North America, beat it’s neighbor over the pass Arapahoe Basin. This rowdy crew waited in the parking lot all night to successfully secure their first chair status. SKI Magazine picked up my image for a double-truck in their Fall 2010 issue. Here’s to large quantities of snow in the mountains this season.

Raw Nationals
August 6, 2010
A couple of frames that I’ve been meaning to post up on my personal blog from a future project I’m working on with some folks over at Rich Clarkson and Associates,LLC. This was the 2010 Raw Nationals weightlifting championships held here in Denver recently. For now, here are a few photo leftovers from the event. Thanks for taking a look.

Rockies
June 15, 2010
Had the opportunity to make pictures in slightly off-season type weather this weekend at Coors Field. I should be posting more regularly but things have been hectic. Also, I’m managing our blog over at Rich Clarkson and Associates,LLC as well. Go to the site and have a look there too.
Outdoor Track
May 19, 2010
Track is fantastic. As a photographer I feel there are more opportunities to make different images with this sport. It becomes visual overload and my job is to sort through it all and make sense of the entire event. Different moments,angles,and lighting play a large role in the final outcome of the images.
