OSU UCLA

Okay, so it’s been ages since I posted anything to my blog – but today I’ll change that. Here are some pix from the Beavers loss to UCLA at home Saturday.

Finding the Frame: Miller Jube

Below is a photo taken by Colombian photo editor Troy Wayrynen, of me as I ran out onto the floor to shoot the Blazers celebrating their home-court win over Dallas. I managed to get right up on Andre Miller within a second or two of the end buzzer and catch him with his arms in [...]

Timbers win two at home!

The Portland Timbers kicked off their first two home games of their debue MLS season with back to back wins on the newly remodeled Jeld-Wen Field. I shot both games with my new 400/f2.8 lens to get tight in on the action. It was a real blast shooting soccer again, although admittedly a difficult sport [...]


The best photo I never took

The best photo I never took

The Portland Tribune Photo staff (myself/photog, Jaime Valdez/photog, Jennifer Hardin/photo intern, Anni Tracy/photo editor) converged on the Jeld-Wen Stadium Thursday night to cover the Timbers’ season opener. It was a beautiful Oregon night full of energy, and liquid sunshine. The rain just kept coming down, it was relentless and a real pain in the ass to shoot [...]


– Blazers -

 - Blazers -

Will the Blazers come together this season and pull it off in the NBA playoffs? I don’t know, but after watching the team come back against Oklahoma City last night I’m excited to have the chance to cover the team this year.


Prep Track

Prep Track

So it’s officially spring in Portland and prep-track is in full swing. I shot some Oregon City, Milwaukie, and Sherwood High school this week and was blessed with some nice light and warm sunshine. I’ve shot a lot of track, but like most sports, opening day can be a little rough for me and the athletes. The key [...]


Irish Boxing at Kell’s

Irish Boxing at Kell's

I’ve never shot boxing before so when I got word of Irish vs. American boxing at Kell’s Irish Pub I jumped at the chance. But I thought I would up the anti and shoot it with my Mamiya, so I loaded a few rolls of Fuji 800 speed film and shot away.


State Basketball Highlights

State Basketball Highlights

I shot three very emotional games during the state basketball tournament this weekend in Eugene and Corvallis. Benson played twice, winning their quarterfinal match, and then a loss to Corvallis in the 5A championship game. I also covered La Salle as they lost in the final seconds by a slim 2 points. The undefeated Falcons where a favorite to [...]


Kobe, you’re a dick!

Kobe, you're a dick!

I photographed the Blazers vs. Lakers game at the Rose Garden the other night and came home with one undeniable fact. Kobe Bryant is a dick. They guys has zero sportsmanship, and he bitches and moans to the officials more than any other player I have ever watched play the game. Here’s to you Kobe, [...]


My Fav’s from the BCS Bowl Game

My Fav's from the BCS Bowl Game

So if you picked up the Tribune today you’re not going to see any of these photos. Why? I’m not sure, but in any case, here are my selects from the BCS game, fans, and pep-rally.


Ducks Practice, and the University of Phoenix Stadium.

Ducks Practice, and the University of Phoenix Stadium.

And now it’s time for a beer.


BCS Notebook – 1

BCS Notebook - 1

I’m tired, so I’ll make this short. Tuesday I got up at 4am and caught a flight into Phoenix with my partner in crime Jaime Valdez to cover the BCS college football championship game next week. We landed and took a drive to the Camell Back Inn Resort, a nice 5 star hotel, and got [...]


Blazers Rip Up the Bucks at Home

Blazers Rip Up the Bucks at Home

The game action was typical basketball, nothing to get to excited about, so I focused on reactions and emotion.


Photographic Evidence

Photographic Evidence

Tuesday night, Oregon State Police arrested 20-year-old Joshua David Britton of Beaverton, a University of Oregon junior, on charges of riot, second-degree criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, recklessly endangering another person and reckless burning in connection with the burning incident at Reser Stadium fallowing the Ducks’ victory over the Beavers at the Civil War Game last [...]


Oregon goes 12-0, BCS here we come

Oregon goes 12-0, BCS here we come

I had the pleasure of photographing the University of Oregon win over Oregon State in this years Civil War game. Next stop… BCS Championship game. Here are a few of my fav’s from the game.


Lost and Found

Lost and Found

I awoke today to a magnificent site. Crisp air and golden sunlight bursting through a thin smattering of clouds. It was raining all night so I was really excited. I grabbed up my Mamiya camera and set out on a walk. I had a couple hours to kill before my first assignment today so the [...]


Finding Brandon Roy

Finding Brandon Roy

With his left Knee in trouble, Brandon Roy sits out the Blazers’ home game against Denver in the players locker room. Roy left the Blazers’ game at New Orleans last Saturday, missed Tuesday night’s game against the Grizzlies, and will miss Saturday against Utah. So I decided to shoot the game tonight and my goal [...]


Any Given Sunday…

Any Given Sunday...

On any given Sunday you can either win, or you can lose. Problem is I shoot college football, not NFL, and any given Saturday doesn’t have the same ring to it. So it all comes down to inches. And this is especially true in photography, even more so when you shoot with a 400mm lens x [...]


Grant vs. Benson High School Football

Grant vs. Benson High School Football

A few highlights from the Grant High School, Benson High School football game tonight. 09/10/2010 – Grant receiver Clayton Graves brings in a pass for a first down over Benson safety Matt Dodier in the first half Friday at Grant High School. 09/10/2010 – Grant fullback Roland Larsen dives on a loose ball turned over [...]


LPGA

LPGA

Last weekend I shot the LPGA golf tournament at Pumpkin Ridge. I fallowed Ai Miyazato, mostly, because she was in the best position to win, and she did.  Here are a few of my favorite images.
