  • Colorado USC Football 2019

    Colorado gave USC everything they wanted Friday night at Folsom Field but it wasn’t enough as USC used a late touchdown to rally 35-31. CU had several explosive plays on the night including a long touchdown catch by Laviska Shenault. The Buffaloes led most of the night in a seesaw battle, but USC scored with under two minutes left to take the lead back for good. Penalties and mistakes by CU did them in once again. They had a chance to seal the game on USC’s critical last drive but couldn’t come up with an interception on a deflected pass nor recover a fumble.

  • Colorado Nebraska Football 2019

    Nebraska and 30,000 of its faithful traveled to Boulder to take on Colorado in NCAA football yesterday. 30,125 people went home unhappy. In what will become a game of legend, CU stormed back in the second half to win in OT, 34-31.

    Trailing 17-0 at halftime after a lackluster performance, Colorado made the necessary adjustments and shut down the Cornhuskers offense for much of the second half. The turning point came on a 96-yard flea flicker. The trick play fooled the Nebraska defense and QB Stephen Montez threw a perfect strike to pull the Buffs within 3, 17-14. He also hit Tony Brown for a 26 yard touchdown with :46 left to tie the score at 31. On the day, Montez threw for 375 yards.

    That set the stage for the improbable finish. The Buffs got the ball first in overtime and settled for a field goal. Nebraska then got the ball but QB Aaron Martinez was sacked on third down, setting up a game-tying 49 yard field goal attempt. The kick never had a chance and missed badly to the right, sending the CU faithful rushing onto the field to celebrate.

  • Bear Creek vs Green Mountain Basketball Pepsi Center

    I had the chance to photograph the boy’s basketball game between Green Mountain and Bear Creek at the Pepsi Center earlier this week.  The Nuggets sponsor an annual series of games that give high school teams a chance to play at the Pepsi Center. It was a lot of fun to cover. Bear Creek won this matchup and shut down Green Mountain from the start. It is always fun to shoot a game under the good lighting of the Pepsi Center in comparison to most high school gyms.   

  • Colorado Washington State Football 2018

    Colorado lost its fifth straight football game Saturday, going down 31-7 to Washington State. The Cougars dominated the clock with a short passing game and rolled off 31 unanswered points after CUJ took a 7-0 lead on a Travon McMillan three-yard touchdown run. Gardner Minshew, the mustachioed QB, led Washington State with 300+ yards passing. The Cougars methodical attack eventual wore down the Buffs defense in the second half. CU plays Utah next Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder. 

  • Broomfield Legacy Boy’s Soccer Quarterfinal 18

    It was the battle of Broomfield between Legacy and Broomfield high schools in the 5A boy’s soccer quarterfinals Saturday. While Broomfield has been a perennial contender, Legacy was new comer to the party this year. The match featured physical play throughout and some incredible athletic plays including a bicycle kick. The two battled to a 1-1 tie after regulation so it was on to overtime. Broomfield pulled out a dramatic 2-1 win in double overtime to advance to the semifinals Wednesday.  

  • Academy Football Candids

    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.   

  • Colorado State vs Arkansas Football

    Colorado State rallied from a 27-9 deficit early in the third quarter to capture their first win of the season over Arkansas Saturday in college football.  Quarterback K.J. Carta-Samuels led a late rally and running back Izzy Matthews crossed the goal line with a two-yard run to seal the victory, 34-27.  After a shaky start to the third quarter, CSU’s defense played better and shut down a tough Razorback rushing attack.  

  • CU vs USC Mens Basketball

    CU lost again in men’s basketball, this time to budding rival USC, 75-64.  USC fought off a tough start shooting the ball to shoot over 50%  for the game and cruised to an easy victory.  Colorado seems to have hit the wall, having lost three straight after beating Arizona and Arizona State earlier in the year.  

  • Colorado Men’s Basketball vs Arizona

    I photographed Colorado’s men’s basketball games vs Arizona State and Arizona this past weekend.  Colorado beat #4 ASU and #14 Arizona in consecutive games.  It was the first time in programs history the the Buffs had defeated teams ranked in the top 15 in consecutive games.  Colorado beat ASU Thursday 90-81 and the confidence from the win carried over to Saturday’s game against Arizona.  The Buffs jumped out to a big lead and led by 16 at the half on 64% shooting.  The Buffs called off and had lots of turnovers in the second half as Arizona’s prize recruit Deandre Ayton scored 21 of his 26 points in the second half.  But Colorado hung on for the win 80-77. 

  • Chatfield @ Horizon Boy’s Soccer

    I photographed the boy’s soccer game between Chatfield and Horizon high schools.  Some intense action in a scoreless game for much of the contest.
