Portraits
So I decided to post a selection of my favorite portraits over the past year. Most of these were for the paper while a couple were for a magazine.

Best of the "lately:" Aug. 29-Aug. 31
Here's a sampling of some of my favorites from lately. The first three are pieces of wild art that I found and shot for the paper. And the last is for a story on overcrowding at a local high school that never ran unfortunately. So, here, it gets life.

Football's back
"SC"
Well, my first football game of the season is in the books.
Arkansas took down the University of Springfield, erm, I mean Missouri State University, 51-7. The Razorbacks definitely showed some flashes of a high quality team, especially with two punt returns for touchdowns by Joe Adams (#3) who set a school record for 174 punt return yards. But they'll still need some improvements before entering conference play. Eight penalties for 76 yards will have to be trimmed down before the Hogs see the likes of LSU, Tennessee and others.
Judging from the score alone, it's obvious this was FAR from an exciting game. But it was football and many, including myself, are excited to just have that back.
Here's a few of my picks of my pics from the game. You can view a full online gallery from Michael Woods and myself here.

UA Football Preview Tab
Earlier this month, I shot the University of Arkansas' football media day. Most of the planned work for this shoot was to fill our annual football preview tab and the cover art. The issue, which took a TON of work from the sports department, hit the racks and doorsteps today inserted in everyone's Sunday Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. The writers and design team for our sports department deserve all the credit for their work on this annual heartache.
So here are the portraits I shot for the issue along with a few fun shots of players preparing for other photographers/videographers.
