Princeton, Indiana basketball standout Jackie Young
Jackie Young is arguably the best basketball player – boys or girls – in the state of Indiana. I had the opportunity to photograph her for an ALL USA TODAY basketball player of the year candidate feature last week. It became clear how good she is as soon as I walked into the high school and saw her game jerseys framed on the wall outside of the gym. She doesn’t graduate until the end of May. In January, she broke Indiana’s all-time high school scoring record previously held by Damon Bailey. Next season she will play at Notre Dame.
I had not shot a “sportrait” (sports portrait) in a while. This assignment reminded me of a weekly feature we would shoot in Wyoming featuring high school athletes called “Prep Athlete of the Week” where we would conceptualize and photograph a sportrait on the fly. A special thanks to Princeton athletics director Jason Engelbrecht and girls basketball coach Charles Mair who were awesome and went out of their way to help me get everything set up for the shoot.
Michigan dominates Indiana as Carol Hutchins becomes all-time winningest coach in NCAA softball history
This weekend I had the opportunity to document history for the University of Michigan as its softball coach Carol Hutchins captured her 1,458th career win to become the all-time winningest coach in NCAA softball history. No. 2 Michigan dominated Indiana on an extremely windy day in Bloomington to win 8-0 in five innings.
Indiana University’s jukebox doctor
Back in December, I photographed Indiana University Professor David Bish servicing IU Bloomington’s last remaining jukebox for an Inside IU Bloomington feature story. The jukebox, a 1937 Rock-Ola, is loaded with 78-RPM vinyl records featuring Hoagy Carmichael compositions and sits in the room named after the famous composer in Memorial Hall. Dr. Bish collects and works on old jukeboxes. When he’s not servicing jukeboxes, he teaches and studies Geology and Mineralogy. He and a university colleague developed two instruments for NASA’s Curiosity Rover that landed on Mars in 2012.
