Sometimes taking photos gets in the way of taking photos, or at least blogging about it. It's well into the new year, over a third to be exact, and about time I update this blog!
There is a lot of conversation in the photojournalism community about cell phone photography. My take is a lot less serious. They say the best camera is the one you have. I see it as a way to capture memories, just like I would if I had my full kit available. Here are a few from the last few months.
This is the time of year that photographers are sifting through their assignments from the previous 12 months and compiling their favorite images. While I intended to put together a few of those compilations, I thought I'd take a look back at the second half of Michigan football first. The dust of regular season football has settled and I've had a few Saturdays off from the field. I've been reflecting on what a whirlwind of a season this fall has been, seemingly faster than any previous. Lucky for me I'm a photographer and I can take a trip down memory lane when ever the urge strikes! :) Here's a link to a post on the first half of the season.
Here's a big fatty post of football photos from the second half of the season, starting in West Lafayette at Purdue and ending in Columbus at Ohio State.
I joked during the season that I was going to make a calendar of Denard running minus a shoe and up until he was injured I was on track to fill every month!
Denard running the ball minus a shoe in the rain! Maybe this could be for the month of April? :)
Here Denard sits on the ground after injuring his elbow in the second quarter against Nebraska. He subsequently missed several games.
Roy Roundtree manages to wrangle in a huge pass in the fourth quarter against Northwestern.
A trip to Tampa for the Outback Bowl is next up on the agenda for Michigan football. After after that, it's a whole new ball game.

Nivetha and her family hail from a town in southern India. She and her mother wanted to start her portrait session in a dress, bought specifically for her senior year and meant to celebrate her roots. The detailed bead work was amazing and thankfully Nivetha's mom Alli, was on hand to make sure the garment was positioned just right for the photos. We spent an evening shooting at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens where the night before we photographed one of her great friends Hannah.
Nivetha is nothing if not prepared. She had all her outfits down with matching accessories and hair styles for each. When it comes down to it, I don't think any of those things mattered, this gal is just plain beautiful!
Keep working hard, Nivetha! Have a great senior year! :)
