Detailing the photo project with NC State pitcher and MLB prospect Andrew Brackman.
Between the team traveling and my schedule being tight, I haven’t had a chance to get out to Doak since they played Gardner Webb on Feb 17th. Hopefully the photo project will get back into gear again as they have a home stance against Maryland this weekend. If I have …
I’m a sucker for good sports photography books. This includes both action and non-action work. Three or four years ago I was in Powell’s Bookstore in beautiful Portland, Oregon where I found shelves full of excellent sports photography books. One that caught my eye was “Prospects: A Portrait of Minor …
The Gardner-Webb game was suppose to be a three-game series but Friday’s game was cancelled due to cold weather. I wasn’t complaining as it gave me a free Friday for the first time in a long time. So instead of Friday, Andrew Brackman pitched on Saturday. This worked out well …
Wanted to link to an blog entry on Andrew Brackman’s home opener. The two dozen or so scouts on hand Friday saw plenty–a fastball that Brackman used to pound the strike zone with consistent velocity. Our gun had him consistently at 89-92 mph, touching 93, but when we checked with …

Explaining what Dynamic Range is would take a long time. But basically, it …
Today was opening day for NC State Baseball. For someone who is anal-retentive about time and is never late, I was really late today. I thought the game was at 3pm so I arrived at 2:10 thinking I would be early and could get some photos of the warm-up. However, …
Fairly light day today as the only thing I did was photograph a photo shoot being held by USA Baseball to get photos of Brack in the USA Baseball uniform. The photographer for USA Baseball was my buddy Brian Fleming. I was going to stay through the practice which occurred …
For those interested, the audio from the press conference (in the photos from day 3) has been posted to the website for the local sports radio station, 850 The Buzz. Here is a link to the mp3. One thing that is cool is he talks about rushing the floor after …
No pictures today. May have some Thursday since Brack could have (another) photo-shoot this time with USA Baseball. Also on Friday is the home-opener which I will also cover. This post is more about the ground rules of this project. Before I started the Andrew Brackman project I wanted to …
