Fireworking

Firework photos look easy. All you have is sparks of light over a black background, it’s almost pedestrian. Well, it’s a little more complicated than that, but not much. Not to say you can’t get a decent firework photo with an iPhone or less, but to really come up with a fantastic firework photo, you’ve […]

June in Photos

It’s the doggiest of dog days so far this June and it’s been mostly quiet in Green Bay. Packers training camp will be ramping up in the coming weeks and I suppose the end of June is sort of the quiet before the storm.

Graduaballgennews-athon

It’s been a grind-it-out last few weeks with numerous graduations, baseball games and pre-summer general news events. Here’s some of my favorites that stood out from the rest of the noise.

Cellcom Green Bay Marathon 2013

Got to enjoy some of that nice morning light early today while covering the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. If only all news events happened between the hours of 5:45am-8 and 6pm-8, life for photographers would be great. Here some of my favorites: You can find the rest of the gallery here

Packers NFL Draft 2013

When I was assigned the NFL draft party at Lambeau, I got excited to get creative. Sometimes events where there are lots of people pumped about one particular thing can lead to some nice candid moments. But, as is often common, what I imagined the NFL draft party to be and what it was were […]

Brewers Home Opener

Wisconsinites don’t seem to need many reasons to sit outside and tailgate in barely above-freezing temperatures. And when you give them reasons like the Brewers home opener, people get kind of crazy. I’ve never been to opening day for any baseball team. I’ve only heard stories about the crazy fans in the parking lot before […]

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 […]

Mud Trucking: Tales from an Indoorsman

There haven’t been many times when a photo project falls in my lap. For my first major project at the Press-Gazette though, that’s essentially what happened. While I was driving to Lambeau to cover a Packers game, I saw this scene near the Mason Street bridge about a couple miles from Lambeau field: I had […]

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 […]
