5:15 Day 14

I've  been a little under the weather lately, so after running around shooting the marathon all day I made myself some hot tea... And that's when 5:15 struck.

And here's my eyeball... Just for kicks.


P.F. Chang's Rock 'n' Roll Marathon

Maybe I'm a little slow, but I realized only a couple of days ago that it's called the Rock 'n' Roll marathon because they actually have rock bands spread along the marathon route playing rock and roll music.
This lady looks way too happy for just having run a marathon for 4 hours and 15 minutes... Craziness.

5:15 Day 13

I was on my way to Scottsdale on the 101 today when 5:15 hit... Instead of endangering my life and the lives of my fellow motorists on the freeway with another self portrait at 70 miles per hour, I decided to actually pull off of the freeway to get a few photos. There wasn't much around at this particular exit... Just the most pathetic saguaro cactus I've ever seen and a fire hydrant.

5:15 Day 12

I was supposed to have today off because I have to shoot the marathon on Sunday, but a last-minute assignment came up and at 5:15 I found myself shooting a motley crew of custom bicycle builders called the Phoenix Phreaks. Enjoy.

5:15 Day 11

There was some debate in the office today when 5:15 rolled around whether or not it was actually 5:15 because, depending on the person, the time differed by as much as 10 minutes. So my 5:15 today (which I found out was actually 5:11) is of my editor Ed looking up on the internet the atomic time for our time zone. That's Megan and Mike looking on. They were trying to get out of being photographed by leaving before 5:15, which sparked the debate in the first place.

Sun Devils Top the Wildcats in Overtime

The big rivalry game on Wednesday night was one for the record books, and one exciting match-up... Here are some shots from the game; from tip-off to ASU students and fans rushing the court in celebration. 

The last frame is my favorite. It shows ASU junior guard Steve Jones (center, white shirt) in a sea of crazy at center court.

5:15 Day 10

My editor Ed Baker bought a digital video camera on Ebay recently so I could start shooting video packages for College Times' website (www.ecollegetimes.com). 

When I got off of work today I headed over to Ed's house to pick up the camera so I could use it after the ASU/UA basketball game to shoot the press conference with some of ASU's players and the head coach. 

As it turns out, when I arrived at Ed's house it just happened to be 5:15...And Ed was in the middle of a pilates workout...
