I put up some photos from UNC’s 20-7 win over Denver. Fairly good game, although my photos aren’t as good as the game was. I guess photographers are entitled to bad games too? 

Eventually I will get the Navy and Colgate photos up.  As well as the Duke vs. Colgate photos up. 

Until then, here are the Denver vs. North Carolina lacrosse photos.

Freshmen LSM Mark Staines

For the Inside Lacrosse article, I did some portraits of the players. I was experimenting with some new ground here but was really happy with how they came out. Here’s a link to some portraits of the North Carolina lacrosse team.

(btw, the photo on the left was taken outside in full daylight.  The effect was achived by overpowering ambient light with flash.)

Ben Hunt on the March 2009 cover of Inside Lacrosse

Inside Lacrosse commissioned me to do the photography for their cover article on Coach Joe Breschi and the revamped North Carolina Tar Heels. The shoot was a ton of fun. I would recount for you what the shoot was like, but rather than reinventing the wheel, I’m just going to link to an article I wrote on Inside Lacrosse.

This is actually my first cover for Inside Lacrosse.  Pretty sad that it took this long.

Tyler Hansbrough

So the above picture took me by surprise last night.  Normally I would have deleted it because while it’s a nice slam dunk, I can’t see Tyler’s eyes. My mentor always told me that in every photo I should be able to see “the white’s of their eyes”.  Otherwise, its a deleter.

But before I hit the delete button I did a double-take on this picture. A split second before the photo was taken, the player on the left had a hold of the waistband of Hansbrough’s shorts. He released them but no doubt I took the photo right between the time when he let go and before the shorts had time to snap back. The odds are 1 in a million.

And no, it is NOT Photoshopped.
