Best of WIAA Girls State Basketball

This week was a marathon of covering the WIAA Girls State Basketball Tournament at the Resch Center in Green Bay, including four games back-to-back on Saturday. At that point, the games, names and photos all start blending together. Which is why I decided to compile my favorite shots from the tournament into one spot. Since […]

Barn Burner

As a photojournalist there are only a small handful of outcomes when arriving at the scene of a fire. The fire is totally burned out and there is nothing left to shoot. The fire is still burning. The fire is still burning, but the fire department won’t let you anywhere near it. Those were the […]

Donald Driver Retires

Sportswriters commonly say that no professional sports team means more to their fans than the Green Bay Packers. Today, while covering Donald Driver’s retirement ceremony at Lambeau Field, I was struck by the emotion from Driver, his coaches, teammates and, most of all, his fans. Over a thousand fans waited over an hour in sub-zero […]

Some Pictures I Like

If it weren’t for two other assignments I had today, I would have spent more time outside before clouds moved in and covered that beautiful blue sky.   […]

Packers vs. Cardinals

Today I was essentially the “Rodgers Cam” for the Press-Gazette, responsible for getting reaction shots that our other photographers covering the regular action aren’t able to get. Unless the Packers have a comfortable lead, Rodgers is a pretty stoic guy who doesn’t do a lot of celebrating. That made my job a little bit more […]

Ryan and Obama visit Wisconsin…again

Wisconsin is making it rain politicians right now. They are everywhere. In just the past couple weeks Green Bay has seen the current president, former president, vice presidential candidates and candidates’ wives or sons all campaign through town to fire up their supporters one last time before Election Day. Although after covering all these campaign […]
