Derek Jeter's Hometown - On Assignment for USA Today

USA Today called a couple weeks ago with an assignment for a story about Derek Jeter’s home town.  Since they don’t call every day, I was fairly excited about the opportunity…  Being new to Kalamazoo myself, I didn’t even know that Jeter played baseball at Kalamazoo Central High School, but it turns out that he [...]

When USC travels to the midwest, I’m there.  I had the opportunity to photograph the Trojans’ game at Notre Dame last weekend.  And what a game it was–down to the last second, literally, with some bad calls giving ND a chance to tie with one second to go.  USC prevailed with a 34-27 victory though, [...]

What a game!

I was in Columbus this past weekend to photograph USC vs. Ohio State, and wow, was that intense! The stadium was packed — 106,000 screaming fans — and it was the loudest I’ve ever heard; my ears were still ringing hours later. Ohio State led the whole game until the last minute when USC’s Stafon [...]

Friday Night Lights

Megan and I were recently in Illinois to finish up some wedding plans and we made it out to a football game at our old high school. It had been 12 years since I’d been back in Metamora on a Friday night in the fall—not much has changed.
