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.
8 Month Hiatus
It’s been 8 months since I last posted on my blog. During that time, I have not only grown a lot as a photographer, but I have developed new relationships with clients that have pushed my skills to a new level.
In July of last year (right when I stopped posting), I was hired as a freelance photographer for the Associated Press out of New Haven, Conn. In my time with the AP so far, I have been published in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, and the Boston Globe, as well as most of the newspapers here in Connecticut. The photograph below was even chosen as one of the Associated Press’ “Top Domestic News Photograph of 2009″

I plan to start posting regularly on this blog, with updates on my career and the path my work is headed. Over the next few weeks I will update everyone with some photos that I have taken over the last 8 months. Thanks for reading and I can’t wait to show you what I have done and am doing.
