This past summer I went to Valencia, Spain and stayed with my girlfriend while she did research. While over there we also took a trip to Rome. My camera charger broke due to the voltage difference and I didn’t notice until I went to charge my battery on our first night in Rome. I took as many pictures as I could before all the juice was absolutely drained. I looked all over for stores that would sell the charger that I needed but I found that Canon 1D chargers are apparently very hard to find. When I finally looked online I found that the price of a new one was around $400! I kept putting off getting an extra battery because they were $100+, but I wished I had bought one now.

Although basketball is one of my favorite sports to shoot, I feel like it is one of the sports that I need to work on shooting the most. I also feel like shooting with my strobes has limited the ways that I see when I shoot basketball. I am trying to go back to shooting without strobes and to focus more on action, composition, and different angles. I shot a UCI Womens Basketball game almost entirely with a 50mm, trying to see all the different shots i could get from the baseline. I hope get back to the basics and really develop a strong basketball background.

The UCI Mens Soccer team won the Big West Championship for the second year in a row and earned a first round bye in the NCAA tournament. They also earned the 16th seed in the tournament and got to host Stanford in the second round. I was excited to shoot such a big game, especially after not being able to shoot the second round last year due to the game being on the east coast. As a fan it was a disappointing game, although as a photographer it was interesting and action packed. I tried to get some emotion from our team after the game but there really wasn’t much. There were handshakes, a few hugs, and then a huddle. Nothing too special to end the night.
