Spring sports

Ok I was horrible about doing posts the last semester but it was a hard semester with the fresh start of summer I want to take a quick look back at what was my spring in sports photos. The following are the photos my spring had to offer.

Gymnastics

Women’s basketball

Men’s basketball
During the trip to Provo I was on the sideline and was nearly kicked every time the cheerleaders had came out so I started to take pictures of the flips and got this kinda cool one.
I shot golf for the first time this spring

Spring wrapped up with the Red and White football game
This was from the MUSS flag football game but it was my favorite photo of the day.

Spring News

Ok I was horrible about doing posts the last semester but it was a hard semester with the fresh start of summer I want to take a quick look back at what was my spring in news photos. The following are the photos my spring had to offer.

A herd of deer came down to campus.

Lance Armstrong and John Huntsman visited nurses and patients at the Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Larry Anderson, nighttime custodian in the OSH building.

Matt Steele, Skating on the fountain.

Empty racks in the Marriott Library.

I worked on this photo illustration for a story about car burglaries at the U. people were smashing the windows and taking radios out of cars by the residents halls I think so I did this but the story keep getting pushed back more and more until the semester was over so it never ran. I still like it so I will post it hear.

(The tattoo is real. I photoshoped out the tattoo for the paper but I like it so I left it in for my blog.)

27 photos later

For Ana's birthday we are planning on taking a crony fun bus to Wendover. We were planning this Sunday night well Monday morning a Facebook group got started by Lana and we needed a photo for it well 27 photos later I had one!

The cut-outs are a little rough but I think it works well it was a lot of fun.

Super Tuesday!!! (and Monday)

WOW A TIMLEY POST!!! This week was Super Tuesday and Utah was one of the states voting well this lead to so exciting and not so exciting political shoots.

It all got stated on Monday when Michelle Obama visited to give a speech for her husband. I got some typical speaker shots of her but one point she worked the crowd into a frenzy, then when she was done she worked the crowd and gave her supporters hugs.

Those were my best shots my favorite shot was in the beginning when a specter took a picture of Obama their flash gave her a nice halo but my picture was out of focus. DAMN!
On Super Tuesday my day was filled with politics. It started at the capital where I was going to shoot the debate over HB241 that would strip instate tuition from undocumented students. This was my first time seeing the state House in action. I don’t know why it surprised me but they were boring as shit! Until I started to watch closer they were just as bored as I was!

This lady was playing with her lip gloss

This guy was stretching

This guy was my favorite

Once HB241 came up they said,
Let’s do it later.
Any Objections?
NO
OK we will put off work after all we only got a 3 hour lunch.

Any way after going to the office I had to go back up to the capital to shoot protesters of HB241. It was going awful the sun was so low I had hard shadows or sun flare and with the cold they huddled together making it damn near imposable to get a good shot.
At the end they made a few laps around the fountain witch saved my ass I got this shot that I felt was my best until neither guy would give me their name.
So we used this one with a "group" of students.
To wrap up Super Tuesday I shot the results party at the Hinckley Institute. It was going really shitty just people watching CNN.

Then I started to notice that each time the Utah results came up these guys in the front started to cheer so I got their names and waited for Utah to come up again.
My favorite results shots were reminded me of the shots I got earlier at the Utah House.

Best speaker ever!!!

Well in typical fashion I was late on the post for Carnell West only problem this time was that it was for class credit I’m taking blogging as a social force and we got extra credit to go and write a blog about it but it was due a week after the speech oh well. I went to take pictures just for my blog Anna was doing it for the Crony I’m glad I went because it was one of the best speaker shots ever he was funny and his gestures made some good pictures.

In addition to his physical speaking style he had an entering speech that included the gangster lifestyle that many young black men try to imitate. When he was talking about this he reached in his jacket parented to pull out a gun and shoot someone this was one of my favorite pictures.

Well I hope that as this blogging class goes on I will learn to make my posts on time or not.
