An outtake I liked from Missouri’s basketball game against Baylor on Wednesday. After covering basketball for a whole season, it’s getting tougher to find photos I haven’t seen before. A tough challenge, but rewarding when I see something different.
A few I thought worked from the Missouri State Wrestling Championships this weekend here in Columbia.
Managed to catch this detail while I was shooting the Missouri Grand Prix (a big deal swimming meet) last Friday. I’m sure I looked downright creepy standing about 2 feet away from this girl in a swimsuit. Just doing my job, I promise. Water drips down the back of Eunate Garro, of the Davie Nadadores [...]
I expected to see about 50 Abe Lincolns last week at a Lincoln Day banquet, but one of our local politicians informed me that “we don’t dress up here.” And that’s why it’s never a good idea to previsualize an unpredictable situation. While it did let me down (50 Abes would’ve been sweet) I think [...]
A few days ago, Parker tossed an idea my way about the Tribune’s upcoming Oscar preview section. Usually, we have a panel of local film buffs who make their picks and discuss the films a little. Along with that, we have mug shots of the panelists. This year, we opted for more of a stylized [...]
Yesterday I had the chance to explore Douglass High School for a story on the history of the building and its recognition as a notable property here in Columbia. After talking with the principal a bit, I waited around for kids to come out of class for the day. As kide were leaving, a few [...]
I’ve made images like this before, but I think this one works the best. It’s always a little liberating when the photo request basically says “we’re doing a story about baseball bats” and leaves it at that.
Man, I have really been lucking out with the crazy costumes lately. Casey Peetz climbs out of a makeshift igloo after participating in a snowball fight Feb. 3, 2011 on the Francis Quadrangle at the University of Missouri. About 200 people showed up for the brawl. When asked where she got her penguin costume, she [...]
Earlier this week, I was sent out to spend a few hours with a school resource officer for a story. Officer Edwards was really cool, laid back and got along with the kids really well. As lunch was ending, she and an assistant principal were standing in the hall, monitoring the students and occasionally joking [...]
So yeah, it’s snowing (again) in mid-Missouri today. Went out this morning to feature hunt and took a few snaps with my iPhone using the Instagram app.
