October Portraits

Some selections from the month-long portrait frenzy.

Lobos Tab 1

I was assigned to photograph Louie Lobo and Lucy Lobo for various sports tabs throughout the season. I had about one hour to get as many different cover shots as I could that could be saved and used for different games. It was high pressure but very fun. I'm going to publish them on here as they are published. So here's the first and probably my favorite from the night. The poor girl dressed as Lucy Lobo had to keep jumping on my command and I know she could barely hear me yelling "1, 2, 3..." through the costume.

UNM v NMSU 2007

I have figured out how to post Soundslides into Blogger! (Actually with some help from SS's own Joe Weiss. THANKS!!) So here is my first multimedia piece for the Journal. I suggested it after realizing it's most likely the biggest game of the season and the first home game. I was responsible for some of the feature photos, sound and final production. The photos included were taken by staff photographer Jim Thompson, fellow intern Shaminder Dulai and myself. I upgraded to Soundslides Pro and enjoyed using it without any problems!

5 mins 25 mugs

I had to take mugs of the entire UNM men's soccer team yesterday. Seemed to go smoothly enough.

Chorus Line football

This week I had some issues with the Nikon bodies the paper kept giving me to use with the 300mm. Let's just say I'm now on body #3 and so far so good. So I had to shoot Lobos practice and one of the cameras failed on me and left me with my 70-200 and 16-35. In my despair I kept thinking the guys lined up on the sideline reminded me of the cast of A Chorus Line. It made me smile.
