Is this Stanford's Season?

New Mascot, New Uniforms, 3-0 Record.

Yeah that's right, a new mascot...well at least the mascot uniform. The Stanford Cardinals still have a Tree as a mascot but it looks different...what else that threw me off is Stanford's new uniforms for football! Yes they are ALL BLACK!

San Francisco 49ers at Oakland Raiders

Once again, time to bring the camera out! It looks like I will be covering almost all the Raiders home games this year including Stanford. So, it is Football Magic time!!!

It has been a while since I have shot football so I actually found it very challenging, especially when you forget the most important object from your camera bag, and that would be a monopod to help you hold up the monster 400mm lens I have. Here are a few photos from the game! To view more, visit:

Bank of the West Classic 2010

Just like every time you shoot and event, you need to do a check on all your gear. Today I am gearing up to go to Palo Alto to visit Stanford and cover the Bank of the West Classic.

The gear line up includes the following Canon equipment: 5D MKII, 1D MKII and MKIII bodies, 70-200mm 2.8L, 16-35mm 2.8L, 400mm 2.8L series lenses, chargers, batteries, Think Tank International bag, a speed belt also by Think Tank, a MacBook Pro and a mono-pod.

Last year Marion Bartoli of France took the win.

MOT: American Le Mans Series

MOT: American Le Mans Series, originally uploaded by KG Web Media.

In May once more, I was fortunate enough to photograph the American Le Mans Series held at Monterey's Laguna Seca race track! I always enjoy this track since it has some amazing angles! The day was great, the weather was on the cold side but still nice. I carried my 400mm up and down those hills as well as my new Canon 5D MarkII.

Back in May, I had a photoshoot for the aKDPhi National Convention where over 600 women had shown for this group shot among other photographs that can be found on my Flickr account or on my website at http://kgwebmedia.com

I was lucky how I landed this gig and glad I did.

How did I get this gig? Well a while back, a classmate from high school asked me to see if I could create a website for our graduating class. To me that was a no brainer because one, its for my class, and two, I needed a portfolio for web design for class. After I was finished, the person who saw the website also saw my work and hired me for this event.

The event was a blast!

Biomimicry

First I would like to apologize to all my followers on how bad I have been about updating my blog but with the busy life I have had, it has been the last thing on my mind. Well, I will start back up with a video I made for a class (I started school back up).

This is a video about Biomimicry put together for a class project explaining what it is.

This was the first Video I ever made and I see there are some places that I can work on but I can't complain. Enjoy!

Red Bluff Round-Up

The Red Bluff Round-Up is coming up! I know it has been a while but I have not been shooting for a while as well. I had a new baby and a lot of stuff changing in my life! All for the good so nothing to worry about. Any way, stay tuned for photographs from the Red Bluff Round-Up :)

Ravens at Raiders

Had the chance to photograph the last game for the Raiders for the season. Game was going fairly well for the raiders until Russell came in. I am not sure what is wrong with the guy and why he is in this slump but for his future I would try to shake out of whatever funk he may have. Here are some photos of the game I hope you can enjoy.









This game I also tried shooting from the stands. The light was interesting and I though another angle would bring interest to the photos.



As you see here . . . Russell looses the ball. Now I am not a Raiders fan but I heard a lot of Raiders being mad about Russell.

2009 came to an end - Year in Photos -

So the year has ended, I quit my newspaper job and have ventured out on my own. I noticed that I shot A LOT of football this year... and you will see it in the slide show . . . so check it out! enjoy!!!
