Guess it’s fitting that my first and last assignments of 2010 were sports. The paper had an extremely early deadline for color photos this evening (8 p.m.) so I unfortunately couldn’t stay longer than the first period. When possible, I always try to stay to the very end of sporting events to give myself more opportunities to make pictures. As I was leaving, the team scored two goals. Just my luck.
Looking at this photo, how can you say no to volunteering for them? This is from an assignment to illustrate a broader story about charitable giving in 2010. This nursery – the Crisis Nursery at the Crittenton Centers – is in desperate need of volunteers. According to the nursery’s website, volunteers “assist staff and help provide emotional support for children by rocking, holding, talking, and help children in activities including art projects, story telling, singing, reading aloud, playing, eating, etc.” For the next few days, the nursery is operating with a skeleton staff since no volunteers have signed up for the holiday weekend. If you want to volunteer, you can learn more here.

Just like most photographers, I shoot a ton of sports. This year was no exception. Compared to the past few years, it seems like I shot a wider variety of sports this year than usual. I shot a few sports I had never photographed before including hockey, golf and soccer. So continuing with the year in review posts, here are my 15 favorite sports shots from this year.
After a day in the snow and cold weather on Sunday, I retreated today to the friendly confines of some of the darkest gyms in the world … or at least it seemed that way. I shot a large boys and girls basketball tournament over in Bloomington, Ill. This first game was in the morning and the second game was a few hours later. It ended up being one of those hurry up and wait kind of days along with my second consecutive work day were I logged 11 or more hours on the clock. For all the stuff I shot, my three favorites came in the second game. I got a little creative (bored) and tried some panning since there were some bright spots of color in the background.
