IU soccer defeats Michigan in Big Ten Tournament semifinal
IU-Ohio State Football Drone
For IU’s home opener against Ohio State, I worked with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a nearly-full Memorial Stadium. This all followed an application and paperwork process with the FAA and TSA. Ultimately, I was granted a waiver allowing me to operate a drone within the temporary flight restriction (TFR) blanketing the airspace over the stadium. Some of this is outlined in a post I contributed to for the University Photographers Association of America (UPAA).
Cutters sprint to 15th Little 500 championship
Cutters outsprinted Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Phi Epsilon to capture their 15th Little 500 championship. Earlier in the day, the photo finish was not guaranteed. At lap 70, Sigma Phi Epsilon broke away, amassing more than a 20-second lead on the field. Cutters steadily reeled in Sigma Phi Epsilon, eventually retaking the lead on lap 148 and pedaling to victory. Delta Tau Delta and Chi Alpha overcame a late crash to finish second and fourth. After being a lap down at one point, Phi Kappa Psi regained their lap and finished the race among leaders for the final lap sprint. Phi Kappa Psi finished fifth.
