HSPA 2010

I’m not one to hold too much weight in journalism contests. Especially photography. Everything is subjective. But don’t get me wrong. I love to pad my resume as much as the next guy. At the end of June or beginning of July (it was so long ago I can’t remember), the newsroom at The Courier-Times went into a bit of a frenzy trying to get stories and photos ready for the Hoosier State Press Association contest. Anything from July 2009 through June […]

DIY nodal slide: Perfect panoramas

I remember having to do a panorama in a high school photography class. Mine was of a tree line across a lake shot with a 50mm lens on my old Pentax ME Super. It looked ok. Most things lined up. For fun, I tried another one. On the second one, the subject was much closer. When I started to line up the images, I realized it just wasn’t going to happen. Nothing lined up. At the time, I didn’t know […]

Trick shot master – Michael Harsha video

Yesterday, I met up with the sports editor and the trick shot champion, Michael Harsha. I have done backboard still shots like […]

St. Anne Catholic Church audio slideshow

I had a few pictures of the church in a post not too long ago. This was special service. The church was burnt down by an arsonist nearly three years ago. It has taken all that time to raise funds and rebuild. This was the churches dedication ceremony […]

Senate debate through video and photographs

Yesterday, I covered a debate among the  five Republicans running for U.S. Senate in Indiana. The candidates – Marlin Stutzman, Don Bates Jr., Richard Behney, Dan Coats and John Hostettler – are competing for Sen. Evan Bayh’s seat. The debate was held at the Moose Lodge in New Castle, IN. Because of the relatively small venue, tickets to the event sold out almost immediately. It was a full house. I had the difficult juggling act of shooting stills while simultaneously […]
