Big 12 Championship games

Well, if you don't know by now the Missourian sent me down to Oklahoma City to photograph the Big 12 Basketball Championship - men's and women's. The women's team was out after their first game but the men went on to win the whole thing. I was the only Missourian photog down there so the pressure wasn't just on the basketball teams to produce good results. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the games. There are tons more but right now I'm pretty worn out. Enjoy.

Crazy busy, but here's a sneak peak

For the past two weeks, and last week in heavy doses, I've been working on a photo essay on the Rock Bridge boy's basketball team. They just won Class 5 quarterfinals and will play for the state championship this weekend.

My story is to be published on Thursday, March 12. It will be a HUGE, double-truck (that's when something takes up both sides of the inside pages of a newspaper). I am overly excited to see this published, it has been a lot of hard work and long hours outside of my normal photographing shifts.

Anyways, be sure to pick up a paper on Thursday if you are in town, if not check out the Missourian's website on Thursday. Check back for more posts on it, but for now, here's a sneak peak:





P.S. - I forgot to mention, I am heading out to Norman, Oklahoma, on Wednesday, March 11, to shoot the Big 12 Men's and Women's championship games as the Missourian's photographer. If I get time at the end of my days I'll throw some of those shots up here as well. Wish me luck.
