State High School Football Semi-Finals
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Last Friday my editor asked me to go photograph the state high school football semi-finals at Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah. One caveat though, he wanted me to shoot VIDEO. I have barely shot any sports with a still camera and never have I done anything sports-related with video. I was a wee-bit nervous. It didn’t help matters to be the only guy on the sidelines with a Sony HD cam on a tripod. I felt a little out of my element at first, and to add insult to injury it dropped in temp and started to rain. Despite the situation I relaxed a bit during the second game (which is also the second half of the video) and ended up having a lot of fun. Anyway, here is the result. As always questions, comments, complaints, concerns are welcome. Sorry I don’t have a still image to lead into the video. Thanks for looking.

Hill AFB Powwow
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
The other day I got the opportunity to photograph a really cool event for the paper. The Hill Air Force Base Native Indian/Alaskan Native Association held a powwow at an elementary school near the AFB. It was really interesting to experience such a colorful and cultural event. I normally am not that enthused to photograph festivals and things like that, but this seemed different for some reason. Below is J. Michael Crane, the 2007 National Hoop Dancing champion and he was amazing to watch.
