Zombies and wizards dominate my oddball video roundup
I’ve been shooting a lot of video for the Alligator recently and several of the videos have been on pretty oddball subjects.
Here are two of my recent ones on UF quidditch and a zombie invasion.
Wednesday I ventured out to the UF quidditch club’s practice. The team sport invented by J.K. Rowling in her Harry Potter [...]
Painting on the Plaza and a fair day
The Alachua County Fair is going on right now through Sunday. They expect 35,000 through the week, but when I went to shoot Monday night, there were maybe a few hundred people there. As an adult, there really wasn’t much to do. The ride I photographed above was one of the few that could be [...]
Battle in the Bayou
The LSU game marked my first trip to Louisiana for a visit, along with New Orleans and Baton Rouge. We stayed near the French Quarter in New Orleans, which was perfect for me without a car. Signs of Katrina damage were still around. I did a long walk through most of the French Quarter Saturday [...]
Lacrosse comes to Florida

The Rapping Missionary
A lot of features come from wandering into something going on already. Last Thursday I had the luck to find a rapping missionary on campus. Aaron Daye from the Gainesville Sun was already hanging out for a shot, but journalism is always competitive, so I looked to do something other than just the photo. I [...]
UF Football Vs Tennessee
Saturday was the first game of the season with the weather lined up perfectly for shooting football. Charleston was after dusk and Troy I got soaked while assisting on the field. It was a weird game of football, with neither team really putting the ball up in the air.
As anticipated as this game was, [...]
Saturday Night Shutterbug
Saturday night Charlie and Amanda came by and we messed around with some strobes. Oshi the cat even got in on the portraits. Amanda had that awesome blue chair in her car from going to the beach earlier, so we pulled it out and made some frames in the street. All-in-all it was a fun [...]
