Brewer Battles, 2009

In the winter/spring of 2009, I got a rare opportunity to sit on the baseline and photograph a Utah Jazz game. Thanks to a rented f/2.8 70-200IS telephoto, I was able to shoot across the court and get this image of former Jazz guard/forward Ronnie Brewer going up for a shot against a pair of Charlotte Bobcats.

4.01K Jubilation, 2010

The 4.01K was one of the strangest events I've ever photographed, which of course meant it delivered some of the best pictures. It's a footrace between Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City and the fountain at the Gateway Mall that requires participants to wear business attire (hence, 4.01K, get it?). I shot the event two years in a row, and especially enjoyed this celebratory image from the 2010 race.

Swing and a Miss, 2010

The indoor lighting was pretty rough the morning I drove out to Sandy, Utah to photograph my friend Bill as he worked out with a group of aspiring MMA fighters, but the dim light actually enhanced the energy of this shot, taken during a quick sparring match.

The Dirty Dive, 2011

The 2011 Dirty Dash up in Midway, Utah was about as much fun to photograph as you might expect, and this close--but not too close--shot of my friend Ben, diving headfirst toward the camera down a splattered expanse of mud, seemed to capture the spirit of the event.

Wrigley Slide, 2012

The shadow in the lower-left of this Wrigley Field image from summer 2012 annoys me, but the raised arms of the fan, the baserunner, and #44 just bring this shot together in a special way.

White Men Can Jump, 2012

Sadly, he missed the dunk.
