Ran off and played soccer with Robert Ryu.
I got invited with the Bakitwhy crew to Kobe Byrant‘s press conference at the Kobe Bryant Basketball Skills Academy in Santa Barbara, CA. Each year Kobe runs a basketball camp using the facilities of a California college, UC Santa Barbara housed the camp this year (last year Loyola Marymount University did.) The kids stay for [...]
Last week I met up with New University Sport Editor, David Gao, to go over an idea for a portrait shoot of Anthony Hamilton. Anthony was a forward for the UCI men’s soccer team from 2003-2006, who recently signed with the Rochester Rhinos of the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) D-2 Pro League on February [...]
I was shooting in the Bren Center last night, and not for UCI!

Friday Night the Anteater won 3-0 against Santa Barbabra’s Gauchos. I started off by taking “safe” action shots.

Earlier this summer Dan Davis, Adib Towfig, Kohei Nakamura, and I went to the Wedge in Newport Beach to photograph a few epic waves.
