Photographing a Legend

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:15:40 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, I had a chance to photograph NBA legend Lenny Wilkens, needless to say I was ecstatic at the opportunity. Just a day before the shoot, Lenny was honored with the 1992 Olympic “Dream Team” being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame for the THIRD TIME! Since there is nobody else on the planet with three Hall of Fame rings, we wanted this to be a prominent part of the shoot. I had several poses that I wanted to try out that would show of the rings as well as Lenny and overall, I was very happy with the results. I can’t thank my friend Patrick enough for helping me out with the lighting and setup as well as bouncing ideas off of. Check out the sample of images below that highlight a few of my favorites.

My Cousin Heather was in town racing at the velodrome at Marymoor Park in Redmond this weekend. I was able to go over there for a little while and get some shots. I was playing around with some long exposures and ended up getting some pretty trippy results. Check out the whole set.

My brother and sister-in-law visited yesterday and we were able to go out on a tour of Lake Union on the Lady Washington. It was a great time and a cool experience. Here are a few shots from that as well as around South Lake Union.

Yesterday, I went to my first Opening Day for the Mariners. It was a pretty cool ceremony before the game with alot of old Mariners on hand. The game itself left alot to be desired. I have several more photos here.

I was lucky enough to attend the First Flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner this morning. It was quite a sight to see it take off. There was a great feeling of pride for all the Boeing employees in attendance. More photos here

Ending the season on a high note

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 00:26:47 +0000

Last night’s Husky game was the last of the season and they came up huge against the #19 ranked Cal Bears winning 42-10. Jake Locker had a hand in 5 touchdowns for the game in what may have been his last as a Husky. The crowd chanted “One More Year!” all evening. If it was Jake’s last game, I will miss watching him play here, I have got some great shots of him over the past few years. C’mon, Jake, how about one more year?

Quack Attack! – Ducks beat Dawgs 43-19

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 17:35:45 +0000

Oregon came into Husky Stadium on Saturday and dominated the Huskies 43-19. This was a very hard game to shoot when the Duck’s offense was on the field because the ball movement was so quick and it was hard to see who actually had the ball sometimes. That’s probably why it was so hard for the Dawgs to stop them.
