I had the opportunity to photograph the the Great Lakes Invitational for Michigan Tech University. It was cool to be able to do it because a few years ago I went as a fan.  When I was there as a fan I think I watched the photographers more than I did the games, but I learned a lot by watching them. For example, I never knew they used strobes up in the catwalk, which is kind of ironic because this was the first time I set up a remote in the catwalks. Tip: Don’t look down!

Yesterday I was blessed to be able to photographer the Detroit Lions as they hosted the Minnesota Vikings. This was a must win game for the Lions to keep all hope a live for a chance at the playoffs.  They came out strong and in the end it was up to the defense to make a HUGH stop, and they did!  Be sure to check out more pictures here.

This past weekend I was blessed to be able to once again head over to Michigan State in East Lansing. This time I was working for the University of Nebraska-Omaha as they took on Tom Izzo and the Spartans. UNO is in it’s first year of Division I basketball and this was their biggest game yet. Here are a few images from the game and be sure to check out the gallery.
