Photographers! Don’t be afraid of a little grain. It’s okay (especially night games) to have a little grain. So you’re using older gear, so what - no gear shaming. While AI denoise is a good tool - don’t over that either. If you want to be picky, pick a clean background.

Creatives are getting younger & younger. They are also more talented than ever. Cost of equipment also getting more affordable. (These are all GOOD things) But the job market with massive layoffs & clients not paying, makes this field a very tough one to be in. Tips ⬇️

I never get to cheer while I’m photographing the game, so I took the day off to support The Portland Thorns as a fan! Thank you @NWSL for the opportunity to enjoy an incredible game!

Local HS basketball tournament approved my “VIP” credential for my newspaper outlet - but they also REQUIRE I send them ALL my content & grant them rights for free. This was not stated when we applied, this is a new rule, but email said if we shoot, we agree. Yeah… No, thanks.

One week out from the start of the season! This will be my 8th season at Cleveland HS. Quick one step drill to see if I still got some in the tank. 👀

Photographed the last ever PAC12 XC Championships. 🥲 Some of my favorite selects and moments from the meet! Luckily I did NOT get hit with snot from that first shot, extremely thankful for the long lens. 📸: Pac12 Network
