Speaking at Stanford Fast Break Fan Pix Nov 2nd

I had a great time covering Stanford Women's Basketball last year. It was awesome to branch out, start working with Southcreek Global Media and make some images of a great team! The Stanford Fast Break Club found my work through my blog and were sharing it through the Fast Break Fan Pix, who have also created a book from their impressive collection of fan photos!

This year, they've asked me to come speak to some of their fan photographers before a pre-season game to give pointers on making their images even better! It's free and open to the public so feel free to stop by. I'll be giving tips on working within the limitations of your gear and seat location. Even if you aren't shooting Stanford Women's Basketball, should be a fun gathering and informative too =)

San Jose Earthquakes tie Sporting KC 1-1

After a fun start to my birthday month enjoying a free show in Golden Gate Park with Nicole and Dan courtesy of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, headed down to Buck Shaw Stadium for what might be my final Quakes game of the year, pending the TBA of Cal Football vs Utah.

Though the first half I wasn't getting any great action. Quakes put one in the net in the second half.

This places Wondolowski with 33 goals as an Earthquake, beating out Landon Donovan's 32.

Unfortunately, literally within seconds, Sporting KC answered with a goal of their own. Leaving the score at a 1-1 draw.

Afterwards headed back into the city for Night Out with the Quakes at The Republic, where Earthquakes players were stand-in bartenders and I was able to hang out with some of the Quakes staff that I normally only see on the sideline or in the pressbox, and friends! Great night. Great KICK (get it?) off to my birthday month!! =)
