Last week Michigan and Michigan State faced off in part1 of their annual two game interstate skirmish and it was a doozy. Aside from catching your’s truly in the highlight above (white shirt on baseline), see Manny Fresh’s pretty quality face kick of Kalin Lucas. Take that little bro! (yes yes little bro then exacted revenge by draining a game winner…)

POY 2009 - My Favorites of the Year

Posted in AP, Football, Funny, Michigan, Motorsport, NASCAR, NHL, Portraiture, Red Wings, Sports | Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | No Comments »

Lots of media sources are compiling their Best of 2009 and even Best of the Decade galleries as we fast approach 2010. I thought I’d join in the fun by putting together my own favorite photos i’ve taken this year. Its a good exercise for any photographer to do, giving you the opportunity to reflect on your work in the past year and how you may learn to improve from them.

So, follow the jump link to see my Photos of the Year from 2009. They’re not necessarily the “best” images in terms of execution or action pictured, but were certainly what I thought were cool or funny or interesting. The pictures are presented chronologically through 2009.

Enjoy and Happy New Year!

A Sibling Rivalry Reignited

Forcier gave everything he had in the downpour

I shot the game this time not for the AP, but a sports magazine. So, since my shots won’t be published for quite a while, I thought i’d share some of my favs. They’re a lot less of on-field action and more of the atmosphere surrounding this wet, wild game. Enjoy!

Not quite video replay…but

So I was going through my raw take from last month’s Wisconsin-Michigan football game at the Big House to edit out some archival images and saw this odd and interesting sequence below. Basically, Michigan quarterback Steven Threet (10) hands off the ball to freshman running back Sam McGuffie (2) and McGuffie gets some yardage until he gets pummeled by a bunch of Badger defenders. Look closely though and you’ll clearly see McGuffie was actually taken down by his own teammate, offensive lineman Stephen Schilling (52)…..
