OSU Marketing Photos

This post probably should have been made about three months ago but I kind of forgot about it. Here are a few of the photos that I shot for OSU's marketing campaign last year. There isn't a lot to say about these images other than it was great experience and I have a few images to add to the portfolio.

Oregon Enduro Series - Bend

Stop number two for the Oregon Enduro Series brought the racers to Bend, Oregon this past weekend. With only three days of covering enduro racing under my belt before this past Saturday I still felt new to the sport. It takes a while before I feel comfortable shooting a sport or event because I haven't yet experienced all the possible issues that may make it difficult to create quality images.

On Saturday I took a risk and tried to find locations that anyone else covering the event would not think of going to. There were a few spots on the course that were going to have a bunch of photographers camped out at so as much as I wanted those safety shots I also wanted to prove to myself that I could make any location on the course work for making great images. It's kind of like a confidence builder for me because then I know that if something happens and I don't get to shoot from the perfect location with the best jumps, technical sections, and backgrounds I can still deliver quality work. So what do you think, did it work?

On The Road to Omaha

Everything great about the game of baseball was on display last weekend here in Corvallis. Walk off wins, intense battles at the plate with batters and pitchers working to outsmart each other, and unbelievable catches with players diving all over the field.  Oregon State hosted the Corvallis regional as part of the 2013 NCAA Baseball Championship and the Beavers are moving on to supers next weekend. OSU won all three of their games, sometimes just barely pulling out the win, to face off against the Kansas State Wildcats at home in Goss Stadium. Sadly I'll be missing the first game on Saturday afternoon while I'm in Bend covering the second race for the Oregon Enduro Series but I will be back for the games Sunday and Monday so keep an eye out for that post. 

In addition to covering OSU last weekend I also had the opportunity to shoot a few games for the Aggies of Texas A&M. I love working with great people and that is exactly what A&M had in Corvallis along with some of the friendliest fans and alumni I have ever met from another school. So because of that the Aggies have a new fan.
