Cheyenne South loses 62-0 in first Class 4A game

Friday I drove up to Casper, Wyo. to shoot a game between Cheyenne’s South High School and Natrona County. South was making its debut in Class 4A, and Natrona County was coming off a Class 4A state title last season. As you can imagine, it wasn’t pretty. South is a relatively new high school, housing only grades nine through 11 at the moment. With no seniors, the South squad was physically outmatched by the much larger Natrona County players. Natrona County won 62-0 with a running clock in the second half.

The cyclist and the shadow

Shot an on-the-fly portrait today of John Cox, who is competing in the time-trial and road-race cycling portions of this year’s Wyoming Senior Olympics. Didn’t have much time to think up an idea so I decided to try a shadow technique I had seen used before for a portrait of Lance Armstrong. I used fishing line to hang the front wheel from his time-trial bike to the ceiling while the reporter who wrote the story, Alex Riley, held the wheel in position using the line. After going all summer without touching our studio lights, it seems like I’ve shot a lot of portraits as of late. I shot a few of University of Wyoming football players this weekend that I’ll post later after they are published.
