Mizzou & West Virginia Media Day

Mizzou and the NCAA Tournament In 2010

Well I am fortunate enough to be back covering the Missouri Tigers in the NCAA tournament again. They will take on the Clemson Tigers Friday, March 19, at 1:45pm. The game will take place in the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York. Today there was a press conference and media practice, in which they ran through simple drills. Here are a few shots from the practice. Nothing special really, just some that I enjoy looking at.

Watch out Jesse Hall!

Bordom fosters wacky photos

Two things about this post:
1. For the past couple of days I've decided to shoot only with my 10-22mm lens.
2. For the past couple of days I've spent almost 7 hours a day in a dark room looking at photos. The reason: College Pictures of the Year. It is a contest for college photographers and not only do I have entries, but I am also volunteering my time as a blog/web/audio assistant. To check out what has been going on, who's been winning and other things check it out at CPOY.



This is Matt. He has large eyes.


This is Chris. She is scared of what I do.


This is the Josh, otherwise known as the Hulk (from here on out, that is).


This is Mito after a sneak attack. She considered it very ninja-like.


This is Chelsea. She smiles a lot and likes to photograph head balls at soccer games.

Joe McNally comes to Campus

Today photographer Joe McNally graced us with his words of wisdom, however depressing some of them may have been. One thing is for sure though, his humor translates far better in person than on his blog. Although his blog (you can find it on the right side column on this page) is still funny, he had everyone in the classroom this morning and the lecture hall tonight bursting with laughter. Good thing too, as some of the life experiences he spoke of were not as glamorous as some would think, even after photographing for National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, and Time among many others. Additionally, in the photo world he is known for his ability to imagine and then create amazing images with the help of sophisticated lighting set ups. Here are some snap shots from tonight's lecture:

Mizzou vs Colorado game pictures

The game between the Missouri Tigers and the Colorado Buffaloes took place in Boulder, Colorado on October 31, 2009. Halloween day proved frightening for Buffalo fans, as the Tigers were victorious with a score of 36-17. An outstanding one-handed reception by MU sophomore Jarrell Jackson tops the highlight reel.

Mizzou vs Illinois Football

Game date - September 5, 2009

For the first game of the football season, I had the opportunity to travel to the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis for the annual Missouri v. Illinois match up. With the new semester, I am currently a photo editor at the Columbia Missourian, so my shooting is limited as I have other tasks to take care of. That said, I was able to shoot the first half of the game and maybe six or so minutes of the fourth quarter - these are the results. Enjoy.

An Emphasis In Enology

Starting fall semester 2009, MU students will have the opportunity to earn a food science degree with an emphasis in enology. The program will have a required internship at any one of the numerous Missouri wineries in addition to structured classwork. The class will consist of two essential parts, viticulture and enology. Viticulture is the growing of grapes where as enology is the making of wine from those grapes.

This was the final story I produced for KBIA. I only gathered a bit of ambient audio for this but edited all the audio (of course, the photos are all mine).

Let me know what you think.
