Sweet 16 Floor Remote – Two Views
Two views from my floor cam from last night’s Sweet 16 games. First, Syracuse forward Wesley Johnson’s huge dunk:
Yeah Smokey, thanks for pointing that out. Strobe-less floor cams are pretty worthless with that lighting. Here’s photo #2, shot during Kansas State’s double overtime win over Xaver, from the three-point line, away from the “solar incident”:

Assignment: Jazz vs. Lakers
I like to aim for the storytelling sports photographs. Since the Jazz beat the Lakers, this one qualifies.
Caption:
The ball is swatted away from Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (24) as he’s triple-teamed by Utah Jazz forward C.J. Miles (34), Utah Jazz forward Kyle Korver (26), and Utah Jazz center Kosta Koufos (41).

Jazz vs. Cavs – LeBron James
Photographed the first quarter of the Utah Jazz vs. Cleveland Cavaliers, focusing on LeBron James. Above is a sequence during player introductions. So much energy. Then he goes over to the scorer’s table and does this whole chalk ritual. Look at all the fan cameras that got the shot, while I got this…
There’s a big chalk cloud above that frame, too. Would be a great moment, but not for me this year.
It wouldn’t take long for LeBron to explode.
Then three photos of the play where Kyrylo Fesenko fouled James pretty hard, knocking him to the floor.
I had moved to the outside for a clearer view, but the ref is always unpredictable.

American Idol – Faces of Disappointment
The reactions of David Archuleta fans as David Cook, not Archuleta, is announced the winner of the seventh season of American Idol during a live broadcast.
We’re going back nearly two months to the night that Utah’s David Archuleta DID NOT win American Idol. It’s taken me that long to get to these photographs and piece together what the face of disappointment looks like.
Here’s a little of the creative process. As the announcement was made, I shot photos of the fans from across the arena with a 400mm lens. Photos like this:
I went through 25 photos like this and pulled out these 70 faces:
Once I had the 70 photos on the screen (oh yeah, it’s a 140 megabyte file with 70 layers), I started playing around with placement. It was quickly apparent that smaller groups of similar images would be more effective. Like this panel of people stunned with their mouths open:
And I couldn’t pass up playing with these pieces. Without heads:
