Old Time Hockey!

silvertips

I got to hit the ice last night and shoot my first hockey game. I love the game and watch it all the time but photographing it was a whole new experience. When you are at ice level right between the benches it’s a whole new game! You are right in the middle of all the shift changes and you need to keep your head on a swivel to make sure you don’t get a puck or a stick upside the head. the action is fast and furious and it took me a little bit to get the pace of it. I had a blast shooting it and managed to get a few decent shots. The Silvertips lost to the Victoria Royals 4-3 in overtime, but managed to clinch the 8th spot for the playoffs. Enjoy!


Seahawks ground Jets

wilson_huddle

On a day where the NFL was honoring US Veterans across the league, the Jets came into Seattle trying to save their season but ended up getting pummeled by the Seahawks 28-7. I got to see first hand “Tebow-mania” in action. It was really bizarre how the stadium was buzzing every time he entered the game. Neither him or Mark Sanchez could get the offense going however. Marshawn Lynch had a big game with 124 and going over the 1,000 yard mark for the season.

United States Army Sgt. Erin M. Schaefer who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan lead the Seahawks out onto the field as part of the Veterans Day tribute at the stadium and across the NFL.

The Huskies wrapped up their 2012 home season with a decisive win over the visiting Utes from Salt Lake. The offense came through with a big night from Keith Price and Bishop Sankey combining for 5 TDs. The victory gave the Huskies 6 wins on the season making them eligible for a post season bowl with two win-able game remaining.

The Patriots lead for most of the game but Russell Wilson lead the Hawks for a 4th quarter rally going ahead with just over a minute remaining with a long touchdown to Sidney Rice and taking the victory 24-23.

Ducks Dominate Dawgs Yet Again

I made the trip down to Eugene this past weekend to shoot the Oregon – Washington game Saturday night. The Ducks pretty much had their way on offense with Marcus Mariota throwing 4 touchdowns but the defense came up big as well forcing five turnovers on their way to a 52-21 win over Washington.

Huskies sink Vikings

The Huskies took out their frustration of getting pummeled by LSU last week on Portland State of the Big Sky Conference by easily handling them 52-13. The Huskies put up 45 points in the first half lead by 3 Keith Price touchdowns and a tough defense. Most of the starters sat the second half giving the second string guys some valuable playing time.

Beavers bounce Badgers

The #13 ranked Wisconsin Badgers from the Big-Ten came into Corvallis not expecting to meet up with a charged up Beavers’ team that dominated the Badgers for a 10-7 upset win. Although score didn’t really show it, the Beavers owned both sides of the ball but were only able to get one TD on the board, but the Defense stopped RB Montee Ball and the rest of the Badgers’ offense for the entire game only giving up a score very late in the game. After the clock ran out, the fans stormed the field in celebration.

I had a great opportunity to head to New York City last week and take part in some pre-draft activities. It was a lot of fun. As you know, the first pick of the draft this year was Andrew Luck out of Stanford to the Indianapolis Colts. Here’s a shot I made of him in 2010 when they played the Huskies.

Husky Stadium – The end of an era

Since last Saturday was the final game ever played at Husky Stadium in it’s current configuration I dug up some shots that I have taken of the stadium throughout this season including some shots that most people wouldn’t normally get to see. The Huskies will play their game next year at CenturyLink Field downtown where the Seahawks and Sounders play. They will move into their new digs in 2013. You can see more about the renovation here.

Buffaloes stampeded by Huskies

The Colorado Buffaloes got another rude welcome to the PAC-12 on Saturday as they came into Seattle and got handed a lopsided 52-24 loss by the Huskies.

The game was well in hand and red-shirt freshman Nick Montana get his debut in front of the home fans.

Seahawks outlast Cardinals in home opener

This game had just about everything. As soon as ball was kicked off to start the game it started to downpour for about 10 minutes and then the skies opened up and it ended up being a beautiful day. The bright sun made for some challenging light in Seahawks Stadium, Qwest Field, CenturyLink Field. It wasn’t a pretty game for either team but the Seahawks made plays when they had to and pulled out the victory 13-10 for their first win of the season.
