DJ crowe



My youngest son Connor will be 18 this December 30th. As a senior at Fullerton HS he just received a letter of acceptance from CSUF to their computer science program. Though I am very proud of this, its his employment record that really amazes me.




In a time when it is difficult for a kid to find a job, he has worked since the summer he was 15. The first job was with the OC Flyers as an usher and golf kart operator. From there he worked for the La Habra Boys and Girls club in an after school program. His current employer is Bourbon Street, a restaurant in downtown Fullerton where he is a bus boy, and will soon be a server.




The last couple years he has become interested in spinning music. He is the House DJ at Fullerton HS as a member of ASB. Like most things he does.... he does it well.

Cameron's 20th


My first born turned 20 yesterday. Many thoughts follow that statement. The first of which is I'm to young to have a child that age. But seriously.... I feel a certain sence of pride keeping him alive this long.......... and watching him flourish in life. Cameron chose to have friends over and feed them mexican food. Darlene and I enjoyed watching all his friends and band mates just hanging out.

CSUDH @ USC Hoops























First shoot at USC's Galen Center. Awesome light ! Did I say awesome light ? I usually shoot in Big West arenas which resemble dungeons and are tough to photograph in. Galen is more like an SEC arena with lighting designed for TV.
























CSUDH
put up a great fight and gave the Trojans more than they wanted. Both squads were depleted by injuries. Overall the Division 2 Toros should be very happy with their effort. More images here.

My 1st Cover



Boxing is the subject I've had published the most. One of the reasons for that is the opportunity given to me by Ed Mulholland. Ed is one of the foremost Boxing Photographers working today. He and his partners founded Fightwireimages to supply images to magazines and websites throughout the world.



Ed who lives in New Jersey has assigned myself and fellow photog Craig Bennett to many west coast fights. My last assignment, a match between Christobal Arreola and Vitali Klitschko resulted in my first magazine cover, the October 2nd issue of Boxing News.

Both Craig and I were posted in the "Alternate Location" which means we were not on the ring. Not the place one wants to be after fighting LA traffic to get downtown and parking a half mile away. This happens when there is more major media interest than room on the ring. We made the best of it and shot the fight with 400mm lenses.







Can I do this ?


With my interest in sports photography I regularly get ask what I've been shooting lately.... so I thought I'd give this a try. I've avoided starting a Blog for many reasons. Not the least of which is my lack of writing skill and the dedication required to keep it updated. I can't keep my camera gear organized so how will I maintain a Blog ? Well here goes....... my goal is to post 2-3 times per month. I have become interested in landscape photography as well as portraiture of late and will post some of that to. Please feel free to give me any advise or comments to help me improve my writing and or photography. Here we go....................... Thanks to Michael Foo for the image of the old guy......
