A busy Monday
Some Mondays are a bit more interesting then others. Today was one of them. I was doing some office work when I heard a fire call on the scanner that multiple cars were on fire at the southbound rest stop on Interstate 5. When reporter Cathy Ingalls and myself arrived on scene we saw a...
Shooting at Matt Court
Today is my first time in the newest Pac-10 basketball venue. Matthew Knight Arena, which was built at the 12,541 seat arena built along Franklin Boulevard south of campus. The floor was designed by Halsey native and Central Linn High School graduate Tinker Hatfield. It is called “Deep in the Woods” and has various colors...
Awoken at Midnight
My cell phone rang shortly after mid-night this morning. It was KGW Television out of Portland looking for permission to use a photo. This isn’t the first time a TV station has woke me up out of a sound sleep. But to find a file photo that a shot nearly a year ago? The photo...
Covering High School Swimming
Tonight was one of the few times in my career that I’ve had the opportunity to shoot swimming in Lebanon. Here is a link to my photo gallery. I really don’t know how that has worked out but I’m sure I hadn’t been there in at least ten years. I enjoyed the first-half of the...
Behind the scenes
I did not take a count on how many thousands of images I shot in the last five days. From the game alone I shot more than 1500 frames. Included in them were a few behind the scenes shots from the National Championship game For those who want to see photos from the game click...
Duck Hunting (searching for the mid-valley Ducks)
I really appreciate all those Ducks that sent me their cell phone numbers. With so many people using their cell phones I was only able to briefly leave message for a couple and talk to one. I still did run into a fair amount of Mid-Valley Duck fans while wandering. I also checked the ticket...
Mid-Valley fans in Arizona
In the mass of thousands of Duck fans today at the pep rally I did run into a handful of folks from the Linn and Benton county. Unfortunately with the amount of people at the event I was only able to get in touch with a few cell phone numbers I had. Below are a...
Morning with the Coaches
This was head coach media day at the hotel. Every bowl game I’ve ever been at there is the need to gather both coaches together in front of the trophy they are playing for. I’m not sure how many newspapers and TV stations use this but it seemed that the dozens of stills and most...
Behind the Scenes
I think about 4 pm tonight I can relax a bit. I was talking to a fellow photographer this morning at breakfast who agreed that the easiest part of the job will be on Monday during the game. Today I will be heading out to Oregon’s practice and then attempting to hunt down Oregon fans...
Media Day
Friday was the day for the media to meet the players. Today I will share a few moments from this organized chaos.
My Road to Arizona went through Boise State
Walking out to the airplane on the first leg of my flight to Arizona I realized that we would all be flying on the Horizon Air turbo prop with Boise State colors. Duck fans were not sure if this was a good or a bad omen. However as the flight landed in Seattle we passed...
