I was recently able to photograph a book signing at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). Authors Rayya Elias and Elizabeth Gilbert, who is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love, were there. The two were signing their books as well as promoting the release of Elias’ book.

I recently covered a softball game for Oakland Community College as they hosted St. Clair County Community College in a double header. The weather made for some unique softball pictures since at times it was snowing. Also, I was feeling a bit creative and came up with some different types of shots. Enjoy!

Bowling is not something that gets as much attention in the sports world as other sports do. However, every once in a while you may see a PBA event on ESPN or some other channel. Over the last couple of months I have found myself covering quite a bit of bowling.  It all started two years ago when I covered the 2011 NCAA Bowling Championship at Skore Lanes in Taylor, MI.  Then, after that, the PBA found me and asked me to cover their Detroit Winter Swing.  Recently, I found myself once again covering the 2013 NCAA Bowling Championship.  This time it was at Super Bowl Lanes in Canton, MI.

I very much enjoy photographing golf since there is so much to work with and I enjoy being able to work outdoors.  I always look forward to covering a golf tournament for Oakland Community College since it is usually the only golf I get to photograph throughout the year.  This year I covered the Mott Community College Invitational held at Flint Elks Country Club in Grand Blanc, MI. For most of the day it was nothing but rain, however, for the first few holes it was just a normal nice cloudy day in Michigan. Here are a few photos. Enjoy!
