How I Got The Shot

Greetings from Tokyo, everyone. As I sit here in the airport lounge awaiting my flight home, I’m catching up on the social media happenings from last night. A couple of my shots from the Mark Hunt vs Stefan Struve fight have received quite a bit of attention. So, I thought it would be a little [...]


It’s The Little Things

Photographers often stress too much on assignments about the job and overlook little things. I won’t pretend like I don’t do it myself. Especially when it’s a last-minute job or I’m working under a serious time crunch. So, I wanted to put together a blog post reminding us all to remember the little things that [...]


UPDATE: ThinkTank StreetWalker HardDrive Review

Quick update after my first flight en route to London on a United Express Embraer 120 turboprop. The gate agent asked me to check my StreetWalker HardDrive but I insisted it would fit under the seat if not in the overhead bin. These planes have notoriously small bins that fill up fast so they encourage [...]

I flew down here straight from Seattle following UFC on FOX 5 and went straight to work, so I haven’t had much time to work on a proper [...]


CarrySpeed Camera Straps Review

I was recently turned on to CarrySpeed straps by a recommendation from photographer Gary Fong. For several years, I have religiously used BlackRapid straps for all my assignments, and for the most part, have been happy with their performance. Sure, there have been some nuances here and there, but overall they served their purpose. I [...]


My Trip to China

I sit here on another overnight plane, headed to the east coast. As I look back on the week past, I can’t believe where I’ve been and what I’ve been apart of. Last week, I covered the first ever UFC event in China from the Venetian Resort in Macau. I flew into Honk Kong on [...]
