Aiming for that one shot!

This year I promised myself that I would try to make at least one nice image with my fisheye lens at each hockey game. It has become a mission now because I have captured a few nice moments but I feel like that one special one is still out there. When I shoot hockey through the holes in the glass I use a 70-200mm zoom lens on one camera and a 10.5mm fisheye on another camera around my neck. I feel like these shots really put the viewer right into the action. I have shot a few cool ones like the puck flying past me, guys reaching for the puck as they head towards my position, and T.J. Oshie hitting the puck in mid-air like a baseball player. I just feel that there is one out there that I haven't captured yet. Oh well, the mission continues.

Catching up...

So in February of 2007 I was asked to be part of a new local magazine called St. Louis Sports Magazine and it was exciting to be part of something from the ground up. We are working on issue number 24 and still going strong, and now the magazine is partnered with 590 The Fan KFNS radio. I am the Director of Photography, which basically means that I take most of the pictures and help pick what photos are used. You can read each issue for free by going to http://www.kfns.com/ and clicking on the St. Louis Sports Magazine link. Please let me know your thoughts and ideas for upcoming issues.

Back to Blogging

I was made aware from an associate of mine that it has been over 2 years since my last blog. Well, I am going to attempt to make up for that time with some new posts. My last post was when the Cardinals made it into the World Series in 2006 and as we all know defeated the Tigers. I was fortunate enough to have made a nice image of the team with the trophy which will always be a fun memory.
