Something you maybe haven't noticed yet is the new silver Tigerhawk tag that Nike put on the back of

's uniforms this year recognizing their 2023 Final Four appearance.
This year I spent time on a new remote camera project. I placed a camera in the catwalk at Carver that I could remotely pan/tilt/zoom/focus from the floor. The catwalks don't go directly over the baskets and we can't shoot from catwalks during events so I had to get creative.
I spent most of the past two weeks with the
@IowaWBB
team at the
#ncaaW
Tournament in San Antonio and thought I'd share some photos of things you didn't see on TV during the games. First off, we were in the bubble and we went just about everywhere as a team. (1/8)

The last two days have been fun. Not much sleep and a lot of editing still to do but being able to capture
@IowaXC_TF

@IowaWBB
winning Big Ten Championships has been amazing.
A full moon, known as the beaver moon, rises behind the Quaker Oats sign in downtown Cedar Rapids. The facility is the largest cereal production plant in the world.
When there are no people and cars downtown Cedar Rapids you can do some fun things with a drone. Merry Christmas from those of us working today at

I am very excited to announce that I'll be joining

If you are a
#Hawkeyes
fan you should get a copy of The Gazette tomorrow. It's not too often that we put sports on the front page and tomorrow it's the entire front page. Inside is the Final Score pages with games stories and all the other sections you expect in our Sunday paper.
A week from today will be my last day at The Gazette. I have had a lot of fun shooting photos for this paper for the past 12 years (7 as a freelancer and the last 5 full time). I am really grateful for all the people I've met and stories I've worked on over the years. (1/3)
I'm working on an archiving project this summer and ran across this photo today.

I photographed my last two assignments this morning and my time at the Gazette has come to a close. I turned in my gear this afternoon to Cliff Jette. Cliff was the first Gazette employee I met on my first day freelancing for the Gazette in 2006. He has taught me a ton.
Today marks my 5th anniversary of joining the Gazette as a staff photographer. It is a special privilege to work for the paper I grew up reading. I would not be here today without the advice and assistance of many friends. Here are a few of my favorite images from the past year.
