Last game


I think last night's basketball game was fitting as my last men's basketball game that I shot this season (maybe ever?). We became the Big Ten Champions, the game took place at Assembly Hall, which was strange because I grew up as an Indiana fan. Raymar had the most incredible dunk I've ever seen and even though I didn't get it in focus, I did get to see it from roughly five or six feet away. The boys I traveled with were fun to be with, even though they did make me sleep on the floor. I am basically in love with every member of the men's basketball team at this point (especially Suton, I wanted to cry when I was sitting feet away from a slew of people shouting "Suton sucks!"). I am extremely happy they're Big Ten Champs, and I've learned through this season that I actually enjoy following certain sports (namely, MSU men's basketball).

The trip so far has been fun and I was happy with last night for the most part. I'm looking forward to shooting the women's tournament and finishing up my final days of shooting basketball (again, probably ever, but that's a whole different blog post). I'm relaxing and enjoying real food at my Grandma's house, and excited to get to be here for Dave's art show. I feel so good I think I'm going to go running tomorrow, after I sleep in a huge comfortable bed for however long I want. I get a week of this and then it's back to not eating, sleeping or really functioning beyond work and school, so I'm going to try to enjoy it and work hard the next few days before I'm officially on break. Go State.

Band portraits



I love love love shooting Flavor of the Week. Musicians are so interesting. These are outtakes from a shoot with Suburban Euphoria.

Valentines weekend




Friday night was ridiculous and amazing all at once, note the Dazed and Confused poster behind us that summarizes the night perfectly.



Chris making weird faces, this is what I get when I take pictures of people all the time. Saturday night was lovely, we went to a hockey game (and they won!) and dinner and it was nice.

Wizard of Oz





My sister who's in eighth grade was the scarecrow in the school production of the Wizard of Oz. I think she wanted Dorothy but she did a good job and naturally my mom roped me into helping out somehow and I took pictures for them.

Beautiful day

It is warm and beautiful and I was shooting a business profile, thought these little dolls were cute though. I have one more class today and I'm so tempted to not go, it's too good of a day to sit inside and listen to a lecture for two hours.

Old concert photo


I was always pretty fond of this.

Kid birthday parties




I took an inexplicable last minute trip home and stumbled into my little sister's 14th birthday party, where the girls were all dressing up strangely and were eager to pose for a photo shoot.
