U2 – Seattle, originally uploaded by Dave Sizer.

I had the chance to go see U2 in concert last night in Seattle and they did not disappoint! An amazing visual experience as a well as all the great music that you expect. You can see the whole set here on Flickr.


UW @ SeattleU

I went to the Washington vs. Seattle U game at KeyArena on Tuesday to take a couple shots of a check presentation ceremony at halftime for the Lenny Wilkens Foundation. I took a few shots from my seat during the game as well.

I’ve gathered up my favorite sports images from 2010 here. I feel very fortunate to have been able to to shoot so many great events and meet so many great people. I hope you enjoy.


Hawks zap Chargers

A little late here but I found a few shots from last Sunday’s game that I liked and I put a couple effects on them in Lightroom just to change it up a bit.

Photographing a Legend

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.

Racing Stripes

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.

Lady Washington

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.

I ran over to the Edmonds Ferry terminal on Saturday to catch the sunset.


Opening Day 2010

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.

Flying Frisbee Dog

This was a shot that my dad took of my dog Eva when we went to the dog park a couple years back. I love this shot!

787 First Flight

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

Over the Thanksgiving break I went to the Turkey Bowl that benefits Whisker City. It was alot of fun and I actually didn’t bowl too bed for not having played for a year. One of the local celebrities there was Shelly from the Sea Gals.
