It was media photo day for our football team at the Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, CO, Friday, so I took the opportunity to shoot a few candids of the players. Football candids are a fun and relaxing way to photograph players. I especially like this type of photography because it gives me a chance to show the lighter side of the players. I posed a few players and also shot some candids of the players having fun. I used a variety of lenses and techniques for this shoot. I especially enjoyed shooting some closeups of the punter. You never get a fell for how quick and powerful this motion is until you’re up close. A gracious thank you goes out to the yearbook staff for inviting me to be a part of this fun afternoon.
I photographed the 2017 4A and 5A high school football finals at Mile High Stadium on Saturday. Pomona defeated Eaglecrest 56-49 in the highest scoring 5A final in state history and Pueblo South won its first championship, defeating Pine Creek 25-14.

The Mike Bobo era at Colorado State got off to a good start Saturday. The Rams defeated Savannah State 65-13. Despite 5 turnovers, Colorado State looked dominant. Of course, Savannah State was 0-12 last year so we’ll see how good the Rams actually are when they play Minnesota. The game featured some big plays particularly by Rams quarterback Nick Stevens who tossed 5 touchdowns. Colorado State football looks to be competitive again this year and should be one of the best teams in the Mountain West.
