Oakland CC sneaks by with 1.1 seconds left


NOTE: I want to apologize for covering my images with watermarks that cover the whole image. However, I have no other choice since I have seen my pictures appearing in various spots without my permission.

I photographed my last basketball game for Oakland CC’s 2010-2011 season last week.  The game was held at Oakland CC’s Highland Lake campus where the Delta College Pioneers, from the Midland/Bay City area, took on the Raiders.  The Oakland CC Raiders won the game, but it wasn’t an easy one.  It was a very close game and both the Pioneers and the Raiders led at different parts of the game.  With just seconds left in the game the score was 82-82.  Oakland CC’s #1, Daniel McClendon, drove and kicked it out to the corner where Richard Hill, #14,  was open for a three pointer, which he hit with just 1.1 seconds left.  It was a lot of fun to be there photographing it and it was an awesome game.  But wait, it gets better.  Tomorrow, 3/1/2011, Delta will travel back down to play Oakland CC again.  This time it is playoffs. The two teams will be playing each other in the first round of the MCCAA Tournament. That game is sure to be another fun one.

Oakland CC Softball Portraits

I was asked to photograph the individual portraits for the Oakland CC’s softball team and also to take the team picture. To save me a trip we scheduled the shoot before a basketball game I was going to photograph for Oakland CC. Above is a team picture where we were having some fun, and below is just an individual portrait.
