James Toney screen shot.

Well it was extremely suprising coming across one of my photos on Si.com. Thanks to Iconsportsmedia.com it becomes possible. I have been working on a story with boxer James ''lights out'' Toney. On his upcoming fight against Rahman. It was an Extremely controversial fight. At first, Toney won by a TKO in the 3rd round. Then, a couple weeks later the final vertic was a 'no decition', It was really fun to shoot, I will be posting more soon.

Cross country girls for ESPN Rise mag

So, I was assisting an awesome photographer, Dustin Snipes. The location was extremely hard to get to with all of our gear. We had to climb about a mile up into this mountain behind the school where the girls go. and we found this awesome spot. So we set up, shot the girls, and the last couple photos before the sun went down. Dustin let me snap a couple photos of the girls. The setup was fairly easy. We had one rectangular soft box in front, then 2 sidelights on the sides. fairly easy set up. and awesome results. Just a little quick fact. the girls aren't sprinters, but I had them go in sprinter position anyway.
