The powderpuff game was by far my favorite event to shoot. This photo is my favorite photo I have taken. Jenna Mathis is in focus while she is looking back to see if anyone is still chasing her, as she runs into the end zone with no issue, to get a touchdown for the senior spartans.

This is my favorite photo because you can see the anxiety and determination on the faces of the players. You can also see the movement of all the players. I had to wait for this shot because I tried s...

While shooting basketball, I had to use the larger lens to freeze the quick-moving action of basketball. It proved to be a difficult task to follow the girls as they ran from on side of the court to the other side of the court. I just happened to get this shot by shooting near by the hoop and waiting fo...

Doug West This photo is by far my favorite of them all. I like the simplicity of emotion conveyed. The challenging part of getting this picture during a Gay Straight Alliance meeting was getting them to not focus on the camera. From this I learned that sometimes trying to get the perfect...
