This is my fourth fifth attempt at updating the blog since the last entry. I’ve been pretty busy with NMSU soccer and volleyball, some MVCS football and of course, a ton of prep volleyball. I’ve photographed two volleyball tournaments; the Margaret Hussmann Tournament of Champions and the Sweet Sixteen, and a few matches in between. [...]
The first practice of the season is always a significant one. At a glance, it may mean something a bit different for the football program (new coach) and the soccer team (new program, new coach) than for the volleyball program, but I think coach Jordan is going through a rebuilding of sorts as well. There’s [...]
I’ve managed to curb my whining about the lack of prep sports activities during summer through the magic of team camps. This time, it was the Mike Jordan team camp held at the Activity Center on the NMSU campus. I get to kill two birds with one stone in that I get some much needed [...]
Just when I thought things would die down, a whole bunch of new opportunities presented themselves. Last weekend I shot the Mesilla Valley Christian Schools’ Social. 2009 MVCS Social gallery Sound of Music On Thursday, I attended the opening night of The Mesilla Valley Christian Schools’ drama club performance of ”The Sound of Music”. With [...]
DeWayne Walker’s first scrimmage as the head football coach at NMSU went well. My primary assignment was to get shots of the new coaching staff for the Sports Information Department. In hindsight, I should have taken my flash for a little fill to counter the late afternoon sun, but considering all the stuff I forgot [...]
I had a chance to shoot the #24 ranked Aggie baseball team play Sacramento State on Sunday afternoon. It was a perfect day for a game and except for the dust devil that dumped dirt and sunflower seed shells all over me and the players in the dugout, the weather was gorgeous.
Since I’ve been focusing on the Big Time Hoops site and the girl’s side of basketball, I haven’t had a chance to catch a lot of the MVCS boys games. The move of the (somewhat) traditional MVCS Saturday games has thrown me for a loop as well, so I was disappointed when I missed their [...]
Like most newspapers do at this time of year, the Las Cruces Sun-News is covering significant sporting events over the past year. I realize that, in addition to these stories they’ve got a lot of others things to cover, but perhaps some more thought could have been into this when compiling significant events. Here is [...]
Congrats to the Lady Blazers with another hard fought victory over Tularosa, and their second District 5-2A championship is as many years. I got the shots from the MVCS/Tularosa game up last night, in record time. Check them out here. I thought the Glenn sisters had a wicked awesome game, and even though they defended [...]
