Evolution 2011: Recap
Over 2, 400 competitors, 44 different countries, viewed by 1.9 million different people online, over 10,000 live in attendance, all equated to the biggest Evolution to this date.

ReveLAtions 2011: Day 1
ReveLAtions 2011 was an event held at The Proud Bird from June 10-12, 2011. Day 1 was probably the most uneventful day of the 3 day tournament – not to say it did not have excitement packed games – but it was on a Friday and only team tournaments were held on Day 1. This...
Japanese TV Station (NHK)’s Documentary on Daigo Umehara
This is very exciting news! Last month I was approached by the manager of Daigo Umehara – one of the top Japanese Street Fighter players – about using my photographs in a documentary about Daigo to be broadcasted by NHK.

Cleanup

Photo Equipment
I’ve received a number of questions from people asking about the equipment I use to photograph eSports events and tournaments. In the interest of answering everyone’s question without feeling like I’m repeating myself over and over again, I have decided the best solution to the question is to answer it with a blog post going...
Paradise Hills Showdown
Yesterday I went down with the Get Your Tournament crew to San Diego to cover a pre-EVO tournament. Since media coverage was denied for a tournament at Fullerton, we decided we needed to cover at least one last tournament before EVO. San Diego is not exactly a local tournament, we had to drive for a...
Welcome
Well, I dusted up the old website a bit and finally uploaded part of my portfolio onto the website. I’ll be expanding my current portfolio soon and I’m hoping that eSports will become a prominent section of it. Talking about eSports photography, I have decided to move my eSports photography to my SmugMug account and...
