San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks 12-29-2019

in , , , , , , , ,

In the final game of the regular season it came down to two teams that would leave first place in the NFC and a bye in the first round of the playoffs. With the season ending injuries of starting running backs, Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny and CJ Prosise, we got to see the return of Marshawn Lynch into the Seahawks backfield. It was only fitting that the game came down to the last play of the game. With that, San Francisco came out ahead after stopping Seattle in the red zone with only seconds left on the clock. The 49res take the win 26-21, a first round bye are lined up to play the Vikings on January 11th. Meanwhile the Seahawks drop from 1st place into 5th and head into the post season as a wild card team against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Here’s a few highlights from the final game of the regular season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Seattle Seahawks

What a wild game... the Seahawks beat the Buccaneers 40-34 in overtime on a Russell Wilson to Will Dissly Touchdown. I’ve shot at Century Link Field several times for the Sounders matches, but how loud the 12’s get, is on a whole other level! Soon as I get back I dropped some ear plugs to into the camera bag for the next time.

Battle at the Boat 123 (September 7, 2019)

What a great night of out at the Emerald Queen Casino as Brian Halquest Productions delivers on stellar night of fights. Andy Nance’s matchmaking is what really makes this one of the best shows in the Pacific Northwest. Every fight was competitive and had the crowd on their feet several times throughout the event.

Here’s a few of my selects of the action from ringside. Thank you NW Fightscene for having me out to shoot on your behalf.

From the fine folks at, Asgard503

It’s always a lovely surprise when I get care packages from the homies around the way. Huge thank you to, Michael Ciochon, who sent up up some of the new gear from his Portland, OR based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gear and lifestyle brand, Asgard503. Wanting to mix it up a bit from the last shoot, I got a hold of one of my old kickboxing student and talked her to meeting me at 11pm to do a little shadowboxing in the middle of the street. Totally a normal thing, I swear. Here’s a few of my favorite shots from the night…

2019 Crazy Monkey Kettlebell Competition

in , , , ,

This last weekend I had the privilege of shooting the 2019 International Kettlebell Organization USA National Championship hosted by Crazy Monkey USA for the 3rd straight year. This has quickly became one of my highlights of the summer. Not only do these athletes train like animals, but they also leave it all on the platform. It’s awesome to see the athletes putting in work. Many competed for the first time and others broke personal records. Overall with, Saiko Shima-Kolesar taking the lead, this is one of he best organized events I’ve ever shot with everything running like clockwork!

Here’s a few of my faves from this years comp.
