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.

Two Spartan blockers jump to block a hit from the Vikings. The Spartans ended up losing the game 20-25. 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...

During the swim meet I wanted to try and get as many faces as I could while they were swimming. I quickly realized that swimmers tend to stay underwater for very long periods of time, making it harder for me to get pictures of their faces. Then I started to notice that at the end of the wall, they co...

Richard Evans steps into the crowded arena, along with a multitude of other competitors. Even though he has gone to many competitions before, and is confident with his abilities, he still gets nervous during competitions. Despite the nerve wracking pressure, he still puts on a stone face and focuses...

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...

While shooting softball, my goal was to get the faces and emotion of the athletes. Many times while shooting softball, the photos tend to look very similar. Because many times the easiest photos are of people hitting or pitching. In this picture, junior Olivia Fong had just hit a home run and is smili...

I love this picture because of the emotion it conveys. The Junior Varsity cheerleaders were all very anxious as they waited in a tiny, dark locker room to perform at regionals. They only had this one performance, so they came together and said a prayer. The girl who led the prayer is Mormon, a r...

This is my favorite photo because I love the contrast of the director to the band, and how the back of his shirt says "Spartan Bands", which gives even more context into what is happening. The black shirt against the white band is incredibly pleasing. I also love how you see the back of the directors...
