Found this in the archives tonight when I was looking for some sports photos from last summer- it’s one of my personal favorite photos, and never, ever fails to make me burst out laughing when I look at it. Two of the fifteen catfish caught by Bryan Crump and Tim Sherman rest on a table [...]
I’ve been to many, many Easter egg hunts. But I’ve never tried to photograph one, and it was a very good thing Caitlyn reminded me yesterday (after her own egg hunt shoot) just how short they really are. There’s a whole lot of buildup, a mad dash, and then…it’s over and you go play games. [...]
I covered a softball game for the Missourian this afternoon, but the game was rained out and rescheduled after 3 and a half innings. The reporter didn’t write up a story, and the sports desk had left early, so none of the photos were published. Oh well. I had fun shooting anyway!
I like everything about the Nikon D2xs except its ability to shoot action in low-light situations—you can’t push the ISO past 400, which gets to be a problem in baseball…since shutter speeds when photographing batting and pitching have to be pretty high. Even a 2.8 aperture can only do so much. Result: Supergrain.
While Mizzou is on official spring break (it’s freakishly quiet in town now) and the Columbia Missourian newsroom is about a fifth of the population it normally is, I’m standing in as the department’s photo editor. I haven’t been in the newsroom at all this semester, and it was a little weird to get back [...]
Last year, I went to the Texas Bowl in Houston as a spectator, when my alma mater (Rice) played and was victorious against Western Michigan. This year, I went the Texas Bowl as an official part of the media corps. There’d been a lot of Internet commentary regarding Mizzou getting overlooked in the bowl selection [...]
Stills from the MU-Nebraska game this past Thursday (I got to shoot pregame activities and the first half before going up to the press box to edit during the second half). I had the D2H, so most of my attention while on the field was actually focused on the people in the stands. D2H + [...]
They all seem to come in during my Friday shifts. Dressed in period costumes from the 1850s, Brittni Steding, front, and Abbey Milligan clear tables in the J. Huston Tavern in Arrow Rock, Mo., on July 31. The tavern is the oldest continuously operated restaurant west of the Mississippi River. Fried chicken plates, one of [...]
After enterprising at the sheep show, I had an assignment at the Junior Talent Show. On the minus side, the event lasted forever (I was at the fair until 10:30pm)…but on the plus side, that blue curtain made for the best clean background I could have asked for. Stephanie Stricker, 13, left, and dance partner [...]
Some enterprise photos from the Boone County Fair last Tuesday, during the Junior Market Lamb competition. I followed Ashley McKinlay-Remus and her lamb Agneaux around for a while, as they prepared for the showing, and took some pictures of goats eating canvas deck chairs (goats are strange) in between.
