NEC Championship
Wednesday night I shot the NEC Championship men’s basketball game between Quinnipiac and Robert Morris. The two images above are my favorite frames of the game.
The game was a real emotional rollercoaster. You could sense the excitement as soon as you entered the area, which had never seen that amount of people before. I was preparing myself the entire game for the fans to rush the court.
That was not meant to be I guess because Robert Morris pulled away from Quinnipiac during the final minutes of the game. As the clock ticked down, I rushed the court with the RMU players shooting “Hail Mary”s of the players celebrating.
After that was over I ran over to the Quinnipiac bench to get what I could of their emotions. It was a learning experience for how to handle games like that.

I found this photograph while catching up on news via nbcwashington.com. I am not sure who wrote this caption, whomever did was really not thinking.
It almost reads as if President Obama purposefully made school children cry by stealing their candy or something.
scientology final project
I am working towards my first audio slideshow of the scientology protests I have covered for the past 3 months. Thursday I am doing my first interview with a representative of the Church of Scientology in New Haven. I hope to shoot the scientology protestors on May 9th right before the project is due.

The entire show fans were reaching out to touch him, and this photo shows that best.
N.E.R.D concert
Pharrell performed at Southern this past Friday as part of the Spring Week events. His show was absolutely awesome, and he was really fun to photograph. At one point he pulled me onto the stage, which I totally didn’t expect. I will upload a photo gallery with all the images this week. Thanks again to Pharrell and N.E.R.D for being so awesome and putting on such a great show at Southern Connecticut State.
connecticut hall workers protest
This past Friday, I covered a protest on the Southern Connecticut State University campus. About 30 workers of the Local 217 Union surprised the president of the university by showing up in her office unannounced. They were protesting Chartwells, the food service company that Southern has hired to manage the food served on campus. This photograph is of Oscar Smith (one of the protestors) taken while he was being interviewed by a reporter…
“Workers are coming in with doctors’ notes, a signed doctor’s note, and Chartwells is not giving them paid leave. There ain’t no weak link here,” said Oscar Smith Jr., gesturing toward the other workers as
they left Engleman Hall. “Only weak link is in Chartwells lying and in their deceit.” - Oscar Smith

It’s getting warm in New Haven, which means summer is getting closer. Here is a shot I took this past summer at a beach in Brooklyn, NY.
