KHSAA Football 2A State Championship - Caldwell County vs Newport Central Catholic - 12/01/12

Day 2 of shooting the KHSAA State Football Championship games. I was secretly hoping for Caldwell County to pull out the win, because they're from my area. They played a fantastic game, despite their loss. Here of my favorite shots from the day's first game.

KHSAA Football 4A State Championship - Highlands vs Collins - 11/30/12

After a long and stressful week, it's nice to...do more work?! Not really. Tonight I had the chance to do something I love. My first "real" photos were high school football, way back during sophomore year, when I used a 15-year-old zoom lens and a flash for our poorly lit field. Today, I'm blessed to be shooting D1 football here at WKU, but it's nice to go back to what I spent so much of my high school career doing. Here are some of my favorite shots from the KHSAA Football 4A State Championship game between Highlands and Collins.

WKU Lady Toppers Basketball vs FIU - 11/19/12

Before I left for Thanksgiving break, I had the chance to shoot the WKU Lady Toppers's home game vs FIU. I went with two wide angle lenses on two bodies, and came away with some decent shots. D1 basketball is electric and it was a lot of fun to shoot. Here are my favorites.

WKU vs FAU Football - 11/10/12

Today I shot the first half of the WKU/FAU football game. It was the third football game I've had the chance to shoot this year, and probably the last. I can honestly say that I never thought I would be shooting D1 football as a freshman in college. It's been unreal and so much fun. This game was also different for me because I shot with a 300mm lens. The longer glass helped me to get some really sick shots. Here are my favorites.

WKU vs MTSU Volleyball - 11/09/12

Tonight was the WKU Lady Toppers' last home game before the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, and it was also senior night. Volleyball was one of my favorite sports in high school, and to witness the team became nationally ranked and win big at every game has been amazing. Tonight I shot with a 300mm lens, the best lens I've ever used for volleyball. It was a challenge, because the fixed focal length prevented me from getting close at all - and the lens was crazy heavy. My take turned out very well, though. Here are my favorite shots.

The Spoon Man - 10/31/12

On Halloween, I ventured downtown with a few friends doing some feature hunting. While we were out, we met The Spoon Man. He was quite the character, and showed one of us how he played the spoons. He told us that students from WKU always took photos of him, and he said they "even put me in the Herald once!"

WKU vs MTSU Football - 11/1/12

Not many good shots came from the WKU/MTSU game last week. The game was a defensive battle, with neither time spending much time in the red zone, which is the place I love to shoot. It was also a night game, and stadium lights are just annoying to deal with. Here are my few good shots.
