The big show
On Saturday I went back down to Macon to cover the finals for the A and AA state championships. Wesleyan played Savannah Country Day for division A and Buford played Model for division AA, both Wesleyan and Buford won their games.

The Final Countdown
As mentioned, yesterday I shot some Final Four games in Macon at the Macon Centreplex. The games were Greater Atlanta Christian vs Dublin (boys) and Buford vs Laney (girls).
Tough luck dude.
Get Carter
Portrait session at Buford High School this afternoon.
Buford’s Andraya Carter is a rising star and one of the top freshmen in Georgia. The point guard already has offers from several Division I programs.
Awkward positions
Shot the Gwinnett County Wrestling Championships today at North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Ga. I’ve never shot wrestling before, or been to a meet before, so it was an interesting experience.
I think I did decently, hopefully I’ll do better next time though.

Blanche Alverson
I shot these portraits of Buford basketball player Blanche Alverson back in early November when I was doing Super 6 stuff.
I wanted to go with a different look than most of the portraits we run so I played around with this a bit to see if selective desaturation would make it more interesting. After a [...]
Double or nothing (Buford vs Calhoun)
Friday was the Class AA State Football Championship at the Georgia Dome between the Buford Wolves and Calhoun Yellow Jackets. Buford won 45-21 after a close first half, but then Buford did what Buford does.
Also, check the very bottom of the post for a special added bonus.

Tic-tac-toe, three WBB games in a row

I used my single strobe set up again, but hopefully we’ll [...]
Line ‘em up
Today one of my assignments was to shoot a portrait of the entire Buford High School offensive line. I liked this first photo more, but so I filed it when I got back to the paper. I got a call as I was on my way to the second assignment saying they needed the second [...]
Buford vs Calhoun (State Softball Championships)
Drove down to Columbus, Ga. this morning to take photos at the Georgia State Softball Championships. Buford was one of the games I shot. They played Calhoun for the AA championship and won for the second year in a row.

The hunted (Buford Softball)
The description I was given on my photo assignment for this portrait was that the Buford Softball team went into the state softball tournament last year with no expectations and came out winning the state, but this year they are the front runners. Basically, “the hunters have become the hunted.”
One strobe camera right held by [...]
