Covered a double header at the local Juco today. Jefferson college and Mineral Area college battled each other and the cold and rain to get the games in. Here are a few images from the event.

Some of the toughest things for me to shoot is Track and Field. The events are scattered over a long way, they sometimes mix JV and Varsity(we usually only cover varsity), and getting correct ID’s can be tough as you have to chase down the athlete that you just photographed. Here are a few from […]

Well on Monday night I was sent to cover the Seckman C hockey team play Kirkwood in the championship game.  Of all the hockey games I have covered for the paper in my two years there, this was by far the most meaningful, and also the most exciting. The game was scoreless into the third, […]

Well as the title states, for the teams that we cover, the season is over. Crystal City Hornets ran into a quick defensive team in Maplewood Richmond Heights last night. They took the game over with their defense and hit many outside shots and forced several turn overs. It was a tough way for the […]

OK so about 3 times a year I get an assignment to shoot high school club hockey. So having alot of time to get good at it, isnt something I get to do. Shooting through the glass at these places isnt an option, its horribly dirty. So I shoot from the end of the benches. […]

Well after a couple of weeks with no assignments, tonight I had to shake the rust off and get back to work. Crystal City took on West County tonight in the District title game. They won the game and are headed to Sectionals to play Maplewood for a shot at going to the state final […]

Well today I spent the better part of 10 hours at the Edward Jones dome for Monster Jam with my son. He loves the trucks and we always go there for his Birthday. Its a blast for me as well, as the 548 photos I took today might suggest. I’ll post up a gallery of […]

Well after another week where my assignments got scrapped due to weather, I’m going on my own to shoot a basketball game, just trying to get some time in the viewfinder. I find myself being off in my timing with too much time off. So tonight will find me at my old Alma Mater shooting […]

Tonights basketball game was pretty big in terms of the conference. Alot has changed since the last game I covered. Hillsboro held their fate in their own hands. They went to Festus and lost a big conference game, then went into Crystal and lost again. Crystal plays a tough defense and has some really athletic […]

Tonight was a big game for both teams in terms of conference championship. Hillsboro and De Soto both played hard tonight. Hillsboro came away with a win, and now it comes down to this friday to see who will win, or share the conference championship. I’ve posted a gallery of about 70 photos from the night click […]
