Championship moments

This weekend we produced two pieces for the BCS Championship Game in New Orleans.

First, we showed up early to document the ‘love for the game’ and the passion that drives both teams and their strong base of fans.

Secondly, as NCAA photos we turned the game into a moving time-lapse of photos showing the excitement of the game (minus the score!).

The Division 1 Women’s Volleyball championship is one I’ve made a point of covering for the last couple of years. I personally enjoy going back and photographing the same championship more than one time. I tend to make better, more thought out, images when I can properly plan ahead of time. I’m already looking forward to next year. Cheers.

As 2011 comes to a close a new championship season begins. With each new season beginning we all start traveling to various cities throughout the country to gather images for the NCAA. Last week was the Women’s College Cup in Kennesaw, Georgia. Here are a few images I personally like from the event.

Championship weekend

msewick — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:05:13 +0000

It’s that time of year again when every weekend hard working athletes compete for an NCAA championship.

And this past weekend, 4 of our photographers were spread out all over the country to cover a few of the them.

San Antonio. Berkeley. Pensacola. Atlanta.

Ranging from water polo to soccer. And Division I to Division III.

Take a look and see what they were up to!

Flash Mob

Two days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday one of our clients, Denver International Airport, commissioned us to create a viral video of a flash mob group they hired during the peak hours of holiday travel. They performed twice that day to an unsuspecting crowd of airport travelers. Here’s a link to the Youtube version on DIA’s page.

Honoring Veterans’ Day

msewick — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:06:26 +0000

In honor of Veterans’ Day, here is a multimedia slideshow from our 2006 book, ‘Where Valor Rests: Arlington National Cemetery”.

Like Arlington National Cemetery itself, this multimedia show and its accompanied book arose from a desire to memorialize the valiant heroes who die in service to the nation.

Thank you to all those who serve and their families.

Tribal College Basketball

This past weekend I had the great fortune to document the love of basketball that exists within the hearts of many Native Americans. We covered a couple basketball tournaments at tribal colleges in rural Montana and spent some time on the Crow Agency Reservation. The NCAA Champion Magazine article has not been published yet, so we don’t want to show too much, but here is a quick preview.

Bike crew

For about 3 years I’ve been working on cycling culture documentary here in Colorado. And for those same number of years I have also managed to neglect the mountain biking community. This season I got back on the mountain bike saddle for the first time in awhile. This is where I started my passion for bikes. On the trail. There seems to never be an exact plan for my photography but in this scenario I have high hopes to continue documenting a sport I truly love. Thanks for looking.

Rich Clarkson honored with a Lucie

Outstanding achievement. Two of many words which could be used to describe Rich Clarkson’s illustrious career in photography.
This Monday Clarkson was awarded the Outstanding Achievement award for sports photography from the Lucie Foundation. The Lucie Awards, for those who may not know, were founded to honor the greatest achievements in photography from around the world. The award itself is a who’s who of photography, drawing the most well-known figures in the photography community. Rich Clarkson is joined by an elite group which include names such as Bill Eppridge, Dawoud Bey, Eli Reed, Nancy McGirr and Nobuyoshi Araki.

“While it was a honor to receive one of the Lucies, it was especially fun to see two longtime friends as the other winners. Eli Reed and Bill Eppridge were honored and richly deserve the recognition. And for me, it was fun to see so many friends of New York and elsewhere (Joey Terrill flew in from Los Angeles, Jodi Cobb from Washington among others) for the evening.”
