Mountain View High School Boys Soccer

I gotta say this was a hell of a game between Mountain View and Woodside. Both sides very skilled and very athletic. Here are a few photos from the game. The story can be found at the end of this post.

Estrella Benavides

"Estrella Benavides stands at the corner of Ralston Avenue and El Camino Real in Belmont on Wednesday. Benavides is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday after being convicted of striking and mule-kicking a bailiff during her eviction trial."

If you are a local person, you most likely seen, heard, or have read the paper about this woman. Very interesting character... any way she was recently arrested for kicking the bailiff...

Walking in the Rain

"Left, Mika Fujikuro, and her mother, Tomiko, of San Mateo, walk their dog, Bobby, at Beresford Park in San Mateo on Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2009. The National Weather Service is predicting a three-day break in the rain starting today with another storm rolling in this weekend."



Had to go out to get some weather shots and came across these two nice ladies with their wonderful golden retriever.

"Gil Woolley, of Palo Alto, watches on Monday as a Caltrain picks up speed behind his Palo Alto home located on Mariposa Avenue. A group of Palo Alto residents plan to march against the California High-Speed Rail project which could require some property to be taken through eminent domain."

This should be a very interesting thing to follow! I know I would not even want a train in my back yard let alone a high speed strain!

Oak Tree

"Palo Alto Public Works employees clear an oak tree on Monday that fell on a home on the 1000 block of Emerson Street in Palo Alto. The incident occurred Sunday night and caused some damage to the house, power lines, and a car. No one was injured."

Been a while since I put some news photos so here are a few from the last few days! I hope you enjoy! Comments are always welcome!

2008 Entries

Stanford vs Cal State Bakersfield

Stanford defeated Cal State 85-50



BorrowLenses.com let me borrow a 300 for this game. Thank you once again. With a 300 2.8L lens makes a huge difference getting some of those stellar shots you see in the magazines! I also got to play around with my new 16-35mm, and that was great as well!



Now the game was not packed like it usually is... not even the students who usually jump around and are crazy while the game proceeds was there... I guess everyone is watching gold or is at the SAP open down in San Jose.



So since there was not a huge crowed i had the chance to move around and get some angles i have not tried yet. I think it paid off fairly well, i was able to find my sweet spot, now i need to start using remotes!



Though the game was a blow out the photo opportunities for action did not lack. Enjoy the photos!

Washington State at Stanford

I shot another Southcreek Sports Media assignment a few days ago and this was probably one of the worst games I shot as far as photographic capturing of the game.



A lot of the shots where from the outside instead of drives to the hoop.



It can be very frustrating when you are on deadline and you know you need to turn in good work for usage of major publications.



After a rough first half the pace picked up again.
