DeShong Park: Season 2


Street Ball 2012 at DeShong Park
, officially kicked off on Saturday, May 5, 2012. I decided to return because it’s my favorite form of basketball. No referees, no cheerleaders, and most importantly, no terrible lighting conditions to contend with. I can just concentrate on getting the shot that I want. Also, I have free rein over the court. Stepping right up behind a player while he shoots the ball is definitely not possible during a high school basketball game.

Aside from those aspects, I just love street ball! No call, no foul. Trash talking. This is the type of basketball I grew up with, and will always love it. So, here we go again!

Tall Order!

The World Wide Renegades 17U Basketball team needed a team effort to defend against 7’5″ Mamadou N’Diaye of Pump N Run Elite (California), during Day #2 of the Walter Prather Memorial Classic.

Southern Hoops Showcase


Another photography assignment. This time, I was hired by Southern Hoops Report to obtain action photos of select players for the Southern Hoops Showcase at North Gwinnett High School, in Suwanee, GA. I’m starting to use my flash more and more to shoot indoor basketball games. I prefer using strobes to combat the poor lighting in most high school basketball gyms. Further, I can overpower the fluorescent lights, which tend to vary constantly during a game. My plan is to upgrade my strobes and RF triggers over the next few weeks. I need better triggering than what’s currently being provided by my cheap RF triggers. In addition, I need strobes that will allow me to shoot at higher speed (hyper sync). My wish list includes PocketWizard Flexx TT5s, and Paul C. Buff Einstien E640s. I plan to also add a more powerful Nikon flash, the SB-910.
