Haiti – god’s littlest angels orphanage evacuation

Civil War
Joined the other Oregonian photographers for my first and only college football game of the season. I sure picked a good one to photograph. The winner of the Civil War was awarded an invitation to the Rose Bowl. The game went back and forth. Hands down, the best football game I have worked.
I started the [...]
3 Course Challenge
As the x-country runners headed down Tank Hill Road, they could see something drastic had changed. A water truck had dropped more than 6,000 gallons of water across the trail. There was only one way through for the 2,340 finishers from 95 high schools.
Although mostly unsuccessful, the runners used every possible technique as they attempted [...]

Baseball and allergies
It’s that time of the year again. Two of my least favorite things come following basketball season … allergies and baseball. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the sport and love sitting in the stands drinking a beer and eating peanuts. Photographing baseball though? Ugh. Between sneezes (allergies), I shot this outfielder’s catch. It was [...]
