Back to Product Shots

Here's another sample of some of my day-to-day work load. Exciting, I know. But really, I don't mind it.

Rage in the Cage 120 at Celebrity Theatre

I had the opportunity to shoot Rage in the Cage at Celebrity Theatre recently. It was cool because they gave me free reign of the place. The only problem was that there is a little runway built around the cage so I couldn't get right up against the fence, so all of my action shots have chain link in them. Oh well.

ASU Sun Devils vs. Oregon State Beavers

One of my first assignments back was to cover ASU's domination over the Oregon State Beavers... I like shooting basketball. The game is quick and the access is pretty sweet.

Freeline Skates

This is Ryan Farrelly. He came to the College Times' office just before Christmas to give us a little demonstration of his invention, the Freeline Skates. It's basically skateboarding without the board. What you do is simply stand on the individual trucks and roll sideways.

This guy was pretty impressive on these things. There aren't any foot straps, velcro, tape or glue holding these to your feet and he was dropping in on a local concrete skate park like it was nothing.

Back into the Swing of Things..

The end of 2008 was very, very busy at the College Times and I simply didn't find the time or motivation to update this photo blog. For that I apologize.

But now it's 2009. I'm fresh off of a full 2-week vacation and ready to go. Here are some new photos to gawk at. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks all.

Biodiesel Motorcycle

I've been shooting a number of interesting stories, but many of them are being held for upcoming issues, so I can't show them just yet.

This guy is an ASU professor who built a custom motorcycle that runs on biodiesel that he himself processes from used cooking oil... I was hoping to meet him at his home and get shots of him in his garage (for some reason I pictured him having a crazy laboratory-looking set up in a garage), but he told me he doesn't process the fuel at his home and that he preferred to meet at a Phoenix Starbucks... So I settled for the alley behind the coffee joint.

Halloween Cover

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted anything. I've just been so busy. Here's my latest cover. This was shot at Papago Park in Phoenix at dusk. There were five models, each with two outfits and sunlight was fading fast, so this shoot was a whirlwind. It was more a shoot for the style pages on different Halloween costumes, but I came away with a cover.



Here are a few frames from that shoot.
