My first awards

Yeah baby! I have won four SC Press Association awards! This has been a goal of mine for the past year. Hopefully the recognition and respect it brings will be beneficial in the long run. Sure does make those cold windy nights, hot days, and hard gymnasium floors a little easier to bear. Next years goal... cover of SI or Newsweek... well... it's my blog and I can dream what I want!

Photo of the week

Well more like my favorite shot of the year 2006. This definatly was my favorite image. I pre-focused the 5D mounted with 35mm f/1.4L on the rim, switched the lens to manual focus and set the camera in my lap. Continuing to Shoot with my second 5D body mounted with the 85mm f/1.8, the player, stud high school prospect Delvon Roe steals the ball. Almost as quick I switch back to the 35mm focal length, turn the camera vertical, place it on the floor andwait. Roe goes up, up and UP! Dunks it over the opposing 7 footer. I waited five days and several games for this shot! (Details: ISO 1600, 5D, 35mm f/1.4, probably 1/640 or 1/500th a second)
