Huge Titan Win

2012-02-05T19:49:00.000-08:00

The Titans continue to improve defensively during a decisive victory over the Gauchos of UCSB. With just over a month till the Big West Tournament this team will surely be the team no one wants to face with four of the top ten scorers in the Big West.

Titans get much needed home Victory

After 3 tough road losses the CSUF Titans returned to Titan Gym to face the hot playing Highlanders from UCR. Riverside was on a 4 game winning streak but that ended on the strength of Kwame Vaughn's career-high 28 points and D. J. Seeley's 22, combined with some of the best D Titan fans have seen this season.

Important Win

In past years Titan teams who gave up leads would often wilt in the final minutes and leave their fans frustrated. The 2012 version has twice in the past 2 games given up a lead only to keep their composure down the stretch and close out the game. So far it's a very fun group to watch.

Titan's Look Lost

2011-11-28T16:47:00.001-08:00

The Titans underwhelmed this past Saturday night in a 73-66 loss to Cal State Bakersfield. Team chemistry and defense were lacking, add to that too many turnovers and poor second half shooting, and it wasn't pretty. Surprised the boys could find the gym...... they couldn't find each other on the court.

Local Latin Soccer

Since 2004 when I graduated from P&S cameras and shooting my sons sports, to the original Digital Rebel and rental glass, I often test equipment on Sunday afternoons below my house at the Junior College. On most Sunday afternoons you will find soccer played there by mostly hispanic men. The league has varying levels of competition and skill levels. Ages range from 17 to 57. The thing I enjoy most about it is the childlike love the men have for the game. Very little trash talk or badgering of the Referee, just a lot of big smiles and sweat, playing in front of their families.

This past Sunday like many before I headed down to test a recently repaired camera body.

Titans Game #1

2011-11-05T14:50:00.000-07:00

Cal State Fullerton drew a better than average Friday night crowd for their exhibition against D2 Cal State Los Angeles. I have to say I hate these pad your stats guaranteed win games. Would much prefer the Titan's go on the road and face a tougher opponent and make a little cash for the program. The administration claims no one wants to play us ? Not sure I'm buying that.

As is often the case, CSLA hung tight for a half but in the end the Titan reserves and a couple starters made it a 20 point win.

Only in So Cal can you shoot soccer in shorts on October 30th. Great weather and good friends (Mike Foo and Matt Brown) made for a fun shoot. The Mellano sisters helped the Titans to dominate the Aggies of Davis 4-1.

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

2009-11-11T19:39:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-01T22:36:00.000-08:00

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......
