Rogers Heritage 2013 Graduation

With the chaos of Rogers’ graduation being let out and the different way the kids were organized for RHHS’ graduation, I felt I little backwards. Alas, graduates are always fixing each others’ hats and finding ways to pass the time before the ceremony. Heritage’s set up was different than Rogers because the kids had to [...]

Rogers High School 2013 Graduation

Another year, another graduating class! Congrats to the graduates of 2013! I like to spend time in the east tunnel before the graduates walk in, partially because it’s air conditioned, but also because the kids are most anxious in these moments before the ceremony begin. Many ask me repeatedly, “what time is it?” while others [...]

Razorbacks redeemed with win over Ole Miss

The Razorbacks had an uphill battle today after losing their home opener yesterday to Ole Miss. Good news is: the Hogs not only won, but they crushed Ole Miss, 10-1. Some solid pitching by Randall Fant and some hot bats from the rest of the team kept the team scoring. I personally enjoyed the high-scoring [...]

“Spirit of Mercy” helicopter in Rogers

Some assignments are just really, really cool. This was one of those assignments. Mercy Hospital allowed the media rides in their new emergency medical helicopter, named the “Spirit of Mercy,” Friday, March 15, 2013, for photographers and reporters to get a feel of what the aircraft can do. It’s safe to say I had a [...]

2013 7A Boys Basketball State Championship

Men’s basketball is A LOT faster than women’s, and this game proved it. North Little Rock was HUNGRY for the win and they just seemed to keep stealing the ball and putting pressure on Fayetteville. While the Bulldogs could keep up for awhile, even breaking ahead with minutes left in the fourth quarter, they were [...]

2013 4A Girls State Basketball Championships

The score was tight the entire game which had me, literally, at the edge of my seat (or padded cushion if you want to be technical). While it was a shame to see the Lady Leopards of Malvern High School defeat the Lady Tigers of Prairie Grove, it was exciting to see Malvern win its [...]

Ozark Blues Society at McNair MS

I visited McNair Middle School in Fayetteville Friday, March 1, 2013, to photograph the Ozark Blues Society’s special performance for the school’s seventh graders. Recently, seventh graders at McNair have been studying diversity and adversity in literature so the performance demonstrated how music can also be used to address and describe these topics. The music [...]

Springdale at Har-Ber: Backboard Camera

Well, this took awhile to put together, but I was able to put up a camera behind the backboard at Wildcat Arena in Springdale. Unfortunately though, I could only stay for the first half of one game. It ended up being a good test run for where to place the camera and what kind of [...]
