Wet, nasty, awful, great finish.
The headline pretty much sums up the New Year’s Day Capital One Bowl between Penn State and LSU at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
Wet – pouring rain before the game and much of the first quarter.
Nasty – see above, plus add some wind.
Awful – the field was well . . . LSU wide receiver Brandon [...]
2 Days, 22 hours of sports shooting
For two of the final three days of the decade, I found myself on one of my favorite places to be – the sidelines of a sporting event.
For me, shooting sports never gets old – well maybe really hot days lugging gear around a golf tournament or in the rain at any event then it’s [...]
Colts keep rolling
Late in the season, the NFL switches things up a bit with it’s playing days. SO Thursday found me in Jacksonville for the Colts-Jaguars game.

Out of the shadows
Another week, another trip to an NFL stadium. This time back up to Jacksonville to shoot the visiting Houston Texans playing the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jags have become a playoff contender of late, as they improved to 7-5 behind a 23-18 win over the Texans. The Jags seem to be one of the surprises of the [...]
10-0 start
Perfect through 10 games.
The New Orleans Saints visited their NFC South rivalTampa Bay Buccaneers Nov. 22.
I was excited to be shooting the Saints, a dome team outdoors in good weather and I had my Nikon 600 mm f:4 back, at least the dome team part held up.
Mother Nature treated us to clouds the second half, [...]
Tuskers final home game
Friday I headed to St. Petersburg for the final home game of the season for the Florida Tuskers of the United Football League. Florida beat the Las Vegas Locomotives 27-24 in what was arguably the best UFL game of the season and with the win, the Tuskers are now 4-0.
A little twist this week for [...]
Tuskers keep rolling
Week three of the new United Football league and I was back at the Citrus Bowl photographing the visiting California Redwoods taking on the Florida Tuskers. A game which saw Florida continued to dominate the premier season of the UFL with a 34-7 win over California.
My assignment for the game was pretty simple – get [...]
O-fer . . .
For the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, the Buccaneers are 0-6. Tampa Bay is off to its worst start since 1985. The Buccaneers are riding a 10-game losing streak that’s the franchise’s longest since 1977 – when they were in the middle of an NFL-record 26-game skid.
Tampa Bay allowed 267 yards [...]

Running and a little Mickey

Saturday I was hired to shoot the 14th Annual WALT DISNEY WORLD® Cross Country Classic. This event attracts several Colleges and High Schools from around the country for the meet. With the college men’s teams running an 8K race [...]
One tournament, two champions
Tiger Woods on the 18th green after final round.
This past Wednesday I got a last-minute phone call to head to Atlanta for the PGA Tour Championship and the final round of the FedEx Up Playoffs being held at East Lake Golf Club.
I’m one of those photographers who actually likes shooting golf. Other than the walking, [...]
PGA Championship
Y.E. Yang celebrates his win.
As I sit at the airport in Chicago looking at the nearly 400 images I moved from the PGA Championship, I’m pretty pleased with my week in Minneapolis.
Shooting golf can be hard work, mainly for the walking involved, but if you plan it right and take a few chances by not [...]
Football – Finally
Now that Labor Day has come and gone, that can only mean one thing, football season is finally here.
Though I worked for a golf publication for seven years and have shot numerous golf tournaments and my share of baseball games in the dog days of the summer, football is king.
This past week, I pulled what [...]
