My Favorite Pictures from the University of Oregon Ducks Regular Season

I went through all the games I shot this year, including the Pac-12 Championship and found 79 images I thought stood out as either an important moment in the season, or a photo I like for being a little different and surprising.

Oregon Ducks 72, New Mexico 0

I’ve never shot a blowout like this. It was easy livin’ as a photographer. We didn’t have to run down to the other end of the field one single time. It was sunny and and 75 degrees. They fed us tacos in the press booth. It just couldn’t have been an easier day.

Here’s the game story: http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/09/oregon_football_well_wasnt_tha.html

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

Skater Paul Rodriguez at the Dew Tour in Portland, Ore.

I have to admit, I had never heard of Paul Rodriquez until I shot the Dew Tour. The only skater I’d heard of to that point was Shaun White and Tony Hawk. I know that’s really lame, but I just don’t follow the sport. I’ve never skated in my life. I found out right away this cat is famous in the skating world. A bus load of mostly women (girls?) and boys followed him through the crowd asking him for his autograph after he won. I followed him into the portable NBC Sports studio and shot him waiting for the live television interview. The producers herded the fans into the studio and prompted them cheer on command. The whole thing was surreal.

One thing for sure though, what these guys do on a skateboard is nothing short of magical. They have courage and skill beyond my comprehension.
