Broadway Miller

I photographed Broadway Miller for his mixtape Catch up or Get Caught about a month ago as seen here. He was also a willing participant in my Performance Portrait idea that that began with Deuce and Sabrey of Good Hood. So I have two questions for my Untitled audience. 1) Which Performance Portrait works better for Broadway? Leave your answers in the comments. And 2) Will you come to Broadway's listening party at Lotus Lounge (1420 K St. NW, Washington DC 20005) tonight from 9pm-10pm? Shout out to me because I'll be there.

Carroll @ Gonzaga Basketball

It's early in this basketball season but I can tell it's going to be a good one in the WCAC. I photographed Archbishop Carroll's visit to Gonzaga and the game came down to the last minutes in the 4th quarter. You can read about it here. Not to mention, I watched DeMatha play last Saturday, and they looked damn good. Shout out to good ol' DMV basketball.

3.5 Basketball Games in 8 Hours

Last Saturday, I spent the whole day sitting on a wooden floor in a camp chair with a camera attached to my face. The VMG Battle of the Beltway Classic held at the University of the District of Columbia pitted 5 teams from the Washington DC area against 5 teams from Baltimore. In the middle of that showcase, I headed over to the Verizon Center to photograph the alma mater play Georgetown. All of the Washington DC area teams won...except American. Shout out to Jordy, I randomly ran into him on the metro on the way to Verizon.

Gumby vs. The Georgetown Hoyas

Gumby, Gumby...#10 look like Gumby! That's what I heard from two courtside Georgetown fans who have been frequent hecklers for at least the past three years. I'll take a picture of them next time. Mostly, they're quite funny, but I notice that the other photographers get a little annoyed. If the game is boring, you can pretty much get your money's worth listening to them. Anyway, the Hoyas beat Mount St. Mary's 83-62. Shout out to Gumby err... Shawn Atupem for rockin' the high top fade like it's 1994 (image directly below).

Hoyas and Leopards

Upon my post Thanksgiving return to DC, I photographed the Georgetown Hoyas beating up on my alma mater's Patriot League foe, the Lafayette Leopards. Austin Freeman, Chris Wright, Greg Monroe, Jason Clark and Julian Vaughn are all back this season seeking redemption for their previous disappointing campaign ending with 16-13 record. They've jumped out to a 4-0 start this season after a 97-64 win over Lafayette in which the crowd wanted badly to see triple digits on the scoreboard. So far so good. Mt. St. Mary's is next. Shout out to new uniforms, the Hoyas have them every year.

Capitals and Canadiens

Last Friday I shot my first ever ice hockey game, high school, college or pro. I don't know if it was because it was my first time or what, but my final assessment of shooting hockey: fastest and most difficult sport to shoot ever.

I think there are about 5 ice level photo positions where holes are cut in the Plexiglas boards which the photographers shoot through. Being the low man on the totem, I was unable to shoot from ice level positions. I started the game up top in the 200 levels shooting down. The action was easier to follow up there, but the TV guys' heads kept getting in the way. For the last two periods, I sat next to John McDonnell of the Washington Post and shot through the glass. It wasn't ideal, but it worked out pretty well.

I had no idea what made a good picture so this is going to take some more practice to figure out. Shout out to hockey...I respect you, but I will conquer you.

The 6th Time is the Charm

I couldn't wait for the football season to start at the end of August and just like that, it's over. For me, it began at a dusty field in Georgetown where The Model School for the Deaf played Maret. It ended in Annapolis at Navy's Stadium where Good Counsel finally beat DeMatha. I was able to squeeze in 12 games this season. It should have been 13, but since Coolidge isn't playing in the Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving Day, I'll be in New Hampshire.

For the past 5 years, Good Counsel football has run into the buzz saw that is DeMatha football in the WCAC championship. For the past 5 years, Good Counsel has gone back to Olney, MD without a victory. This year, my first year shooting the WCAC championship, Good Counsel beats the odds. Read about it here. It was a emotional game for both sides and I was able to get some pretty good reactions. Shout out to Louis Young who had two huge interceptions and holds the trophy below.
