Old things, moving things, burned things, fallen things, contaminated things. Swearing, swinging, celebrating and selling.

January 12, 2008
I just finished shooting the UK-Vanderbilt game in Rupp Arena. The game went great and ended up going to double overtime with UK winning 79-73. It literally came down to a last second shot two different times and that REALLY gets the blood pumping making sure you get “The Shot”. I had two decent shots of Ramel Bradley’s half court launches but in the end Kentucky pulled away for the win so there was no “shot” to be got!
I was actually excited to shoot this game for a number of reasons. The biggest reason being I was able to do the game with still cameras. (David Perry was heading up the video duty for this game.) I felt like I was in a position to do what I do and do it well. We are all still learning the video part of the job. It is a big change and , while I am working on getting better at it, the posted video has yet to give me the joy and feel of having a killer photo in the next days paper. Even the slide show was fun to make because I had a good shoot and I knew the paper would not have enough room for all of it. The slide shows let us get it all out there for all to see!
Dave and I were almost the last people to leave the UK press room. Only Jerry Tipton remained hammering out his final version of the game story on deadline. The game ended at about 5:30 or so ( I am guessing) and it was around 8:00 that we got out of there. The slide show was up, and Dave’s video was rendering and exporting. This would take about an hour to do so me and Dave grabbed a bite to eat while his computer churned out the video.
At the time of this note, Dave probably still has another hour or so to get the video posted but for now, there is a pretty decent slide show of the game here! Check it out!
