Lingerie football is weird

As a photojournalist, there are always going to be assignments that are uncomfortable. Taking a photo of someone is often a very intimate interaction, and there are plenty of times where either person is self-conscious of the situation. Saying that, shooting Green Bay’s lingerie football team (known as the “Green Bay Chill”) was likely the […]

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 […]

March in Photos

March has been a nice change of pace month for me—I began the month traversing across northern Minnesota and Upper Michigan to work on a story comparing iron mining in surrounding states, then found myself shooting lots of state basketball, a couple sports portraits and then environmental portraits here and there. March was fun but […]

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 […]

Some Pictures I Like

So it’s been a while. After the first snowfall, Wisconsin in the the middle of winter isn’t the most photogenic. When the snow melts or is basically gone, only the bare brown frozen grass remains to color the landscape. That sounds way too depressing. I think I’ve spent too much time in the -20 degree […]

Sportraits

Ah yes, the infamous “sportrait.” The sportrait is the yearly photo dance at newspapers across the country, where one tries to marry the artistic aspects of portraits and high school athletes with their particular sport. Thus, “sportraits.” This year was my first real foray into sportraits. I did some during my internship at the Janesville […]

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 […]
