I had the pleasure of photographing the B1G Men's Soccer Tournament last weekend. The level of competition in the B1G is already very high, but you could tell that the tournament added another level of excitement to play on the field.

The tournament was played at Grand Park in Westfield, IN and it's the perfect facility to host such a well-run and respected event. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I did shooting them! Cheers!

As far as Sunday night's go - this one will be one for the storybooks. Bryan emailed me some time ago wanting to have a photographer capture the moment when he popped the big question to Allison.

He had the night all planned out: from the romantic carriage ride through downtown to a nice, sit down meal after the surprise. Due to some timing issues we couldn't control, the original plan of proposing on The Circle was changed to the fountain in Veteran's Memorial Plaza, across the street from the Indiana War Memorial. It was the perfect backdrop!

Just judging from his meticulous planning and execution and the way Allison gazed into his eyes during and between photos - these two lovebirds are well on their way to a lifetime of happiness together! Best wishes to both of you!

There is no basement in the Alamo. Trust me. I asked. It was the first thing I did.

But no trip to San Antonio is complete without a visit to the Alamo and the city's scenic River Walk downtown! I managed to cover both of those items on the 'to-do' list right away last week on a business trip to Texas, which is good because the rest of the week was crazy busy!

Southern Hospitality continues it's tradition and the people of San Antonio were more than welcoming and I had an absolute great time during my brief stay. Here are just a couple photos of my trip, mostly by the way of my work pattern, of the Alamo, the city's iconic skyline and needle, a few neighborhood shots (including Tommy Lee Jones' house) and of course the River Walk during the very quiet morning and during it's peak hours at night. Cheers!

Saturday was beautiful day shoot some college football in Indiana! The weather was perfect and ripe for an Iowa Hawkeyes victory over the hometown Purdue Boilermakers. Here's a few frames from the B1G win! Cheers!

You could cut the air (or a pylon) when the finals for the Indy Red Bull Air Race began on Sunday, Oct. 2 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The stands were full of people and you could hear their excitement as the day progressed from a field of 14, down to 8 and as the final four duked it out for the top spot. The winner was German pilot Matthias Dolderer (21). Cheers!

The Red Bull Air Race is known world-wide. It's an incredible spectacle of flight and today they flew over 'The Racing Capital of the World' - Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, IN.
Here's a few photos from the Oct. 1 qualifying:

Day six was the final day of visiting sites and we spent the entire day in Yellowstone - from Old Faithful to the Grand Prismatic Spring and Yellowstone's own Grand Canyon to see the magnificent Upper Falls and Lower Falls.

Day five started with an incredible white water rafting trip down the Shoshone Canyon in an two-man inflatable kayak. The water was cold and the rapids were fun! After a hot shower and a quick breakfast, we started our drive into Yellowstone National Park...

After a long night shooting long-exposures of the stars, we went back up to Devils Tower to use the morning light for a few more photos and another quick hike. I could have easily spent a few more days exploring the monument grounds and hiking, but we needed to push west...

Day Three was entirely dedicated to Devils Tower National Monument, our country's first national monument. My dad and I went on a similar road trip when I was a kid and I was absolutely fascinated by Devils Tower. I still am. But this time I had the opportunity to hike its many trails and see it at first light, midday and into the dark of night...
