Shocktoberfest 2009
I’m always looking forward to shooting Shocktoberfest at UCI. This year the concert featured Cold Flamez, Shwayze, and Gym Class Heros. Personally I though it was better than last year. Check out the slide show below…
No.1 team crushed in the semi’s, i get caught…Utah here we come
Last Thursday was the MPSF Semifinals for Mens Volleyball. The No.1 ranked team UCI was playing No.5 USC. I really wanted to get a direct overhead shot of one of the UCI players serving. I had gone up in the catwalks prior to the start of the game to check out locations I could shoot [...]

This past week was the first time that I shot volleyball with my strobes. When I put my strobes in the Bren Events Center earlier this school year, I took into consideration that I would be shooting volleyball at some point. I found out which side UCI would start so that I could position my [...]
