Notre Dame loses to Iowa State in NCAA tournament

March 24, 2013

I traveled over to Dayton, Ohio last week to photograph Notre Dame’s short-lived appearance in the NCAA tournament. It was my first time shooting the tournament. This week, I’ll be following the Notre Dame women’s basketball team as they attempt to make a third-straight championship game appearance.

Notre Dame hockey defeats Miami outdoors at Soldier Field

February 18, 2013

I had the opportunity this weekend to photograph outdoor college hockey as Notre Dame faced off with Miami (OH) at Soldier Field in Chicago. My editor asked about a month ago if I wanted to work a Sunday for this assignment and I gladly volunteered to do so. Until this game, I hadn’t shot hockey in more than two years so I expected to be rusty and out of the flow of the game a bit. After all, hockey definitely has a much different flow than football and basketball, which are the two sports I’ve covered the most in the past six months at the South Bend Tribune. It was an enjoyable experience overall and just very neat to see and photograph hockey in an outdoor setting.
