NBA Pre season basketball

I tried my hand at sports photography for the first time. Shooting NBA basketball is harder than concerts...the light, the action and speed is completely different. I wanted to get a good look at 2007 first round pick Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers. He was injured all of last year so these first few games were some of his first action. Here are a few photos of the exhibition game in Kansas City between the Atlanta Hawks and Portland Trailblazers.


Things are looking up for Greg Oden

Tina Turner Photos

Here are some photos from the opening night of Tina Turner's new tour. She looks great for her age, looks twenty years younger for sure. She can sing and move.

Beck and MGMT Photos

Here are a few photos from the Beck and Mgmt concert at The Uptown Theatre.
The place was packed full for Beck. I had heard that MGMT didn't sound good live, but I thought they were great.

Robert Plant/Alison Krauss-Stars-Dandy Warhols

The legend

A few concert photos to post. First up was Robert Plant and Alison Krauss at Starlight Theatre.

Alison and Robert having a good time.

Up next was Stars at The Granada in Lawrence, who put on a great show and had very nice lighting. It as just kind of a mellow show that made you feel relaxed watching.


Torquil Campbell singing with intensity.










The same night Stars were playing, The Dandy Warhols were playing about thirty minutes later down the street at Liberty Hall. So ran down the street with all my gear in hand and went to the front of the stage right in time. The show sounded great and the crowd were into it but there were hardly any lights and my shots were pretty dark.

Greaserama 2008

Greaserama 2008, a two day event held at a drive in theater in Kansas. There you will find rat rods, hot rods, tattoos, bands, beer, people of all ages and high temps. It was fucking hot out there and I didn't get the photos I really wanted because I am not a 100 degree type of dude and I was melting. I would prefer like 60 or so. I got a few cool shots so have a look see. Laters.


Best hair award.

American Idol Photos

Hi, if anyone is reading this. I don't think anyone does but I will go ahead and make a pointless post. These photos are from a few weeks ago. First up I shot the American Idol Season 7 Tour. Not something I would normally shoot but I had nothing else to do on a Friday night. People really go insane for Idol. Since this was the homecoming of the winner David Cook the place was packed. I was somewhat terrified of the middle aged ladies lurching toward D.C. grabbing and yelling....it was way bizarre and loud, the loudest show I ever heard actually. Still it was pretty fucking fruity.
