Oakland County Crossfit Games

Sorry for a non-wedding post, but I had the complete honor of photographing the Crossfit games at Oakland County Crossfit yesterday and it was a life altering experience. The stamina and athleticism these Crossfitter’s have is simply awe inspiring. It makes me re-evaluate my P90X workouts.

I so want to do this.

The money raised during the Crossfit Games were donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. There are a lot of soldiers out there that are home and unable to get work because of injuries, and the Wounded Warrior Project really helps them.

Below is a picture of my bride Julie competing yesterday. She is an amazing woman. You can view all of the images from the games at the following website.

Lake Orion vs Grand Blanc 2010

Lake Orion blasted past Grand Blanc last Friday in a huge 54 to 14 playoff win.  The story of the game was Marques Stevenson rushing for 283 yards and four touchdowns.  He would get the ball and explode through the defensive line like they were’nt there.  It was a mazing to witness and capture with the camera.  This is my favorite shot of the game showing Marques splitting the field in two and making his way all the way to the end zone.

Lake Orion vs Clarkston Football 2010

As many of you may know I love sports photography as much as I love photographing weddings, and this capture from Friday Night’s Lake Orion win over Clarkston is one of my favorites of the year. The moon was low in the horizon and warmed up by the beautiful sunset. It was a perfect night for football and it was great to see them gain home field advantage for the playoffs.

The Catch

My camera has been busy lately. In the past two days with the football game and a wedding my camera has been going on overtime. I’ll be posting images from Saturday’s wedding in a day or so including an awesome picture of the bridal party bowling. You got it, bowling. When it’s raining outside and the bride wants to go bowling It’s good to have sports photography skills under my belt. For now I wanted to share this image from Friday’s Lake Orion Football game vs Troy. Lake Orion didn’t give Troy much of a chance in this 45-0 win, and this is one example why. Here’s Zach Zott and his one handed grab for the first touchdown of the night. I’d never seen anything like it in person and was so glad I had the right position on the field to capture it.
