USA Hockey NTDP's Steven Santini shares his story with Me and AnnArbor.com

I had the privilege and honor to follow around USA Hockey National Team Development Program's Steven Santini. What an inspiration. He is one of the hardest working and determined people I have ever met. You guys can read the story and view the multimedia audio slide show here. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you the best of luck!

Unfortunately all good things come to an end. It was my final month at AnnArbor.com. My favorite images I took in the month of March at AnnArbor.com.

A new year. A new attitude. Started on a photo story in late December on a player, Steven Santini, from USA Hockey's National Team Development Program. Unfortunately he is not in these photos, but there will be a post later about the story when it is finished.

October 2012 at AnnArbor.com

I don't have many thoughts for this month. I really enjoyed my sports shoots for the month. I love hockey and I love soccer. I just wish the NHL would be playing. Stupid Bettman.

Here are images from RIT vs U of M Hockey, high school soccer play offs that went into shoot outs, and halloween.







September. Back at AnnArbor.com

I am back at AnnArbor.com. I have a temporary part time position. It feels nice finally having a title that doesn't have the word intern in it. The only bummer is that I am not shooting as much.

I had lost my grandmother at the end of September. It has been hard on our family since she was a very close person in our lives. I had heard the news while out on assignment. I was shooting a lengthier assignment and I decided to take a few minute break to clear my head, but that wasn't the case this time. I got the phone call that she passed away. I went for a glass of water, sat for a few minutes, and suppressed it because I needed to finish the assignment. The bowling picture below is on of the images I made after the news. Photography is what I needed to get me through that day. Every time I put that camera to my face, it seemed that the only thing that mattered is what was going on in my frame. One of the worst things about the timing of the death, it was the morning of my sister's baby shower. It is her first baby.

Here are a few images from football games, cyclo-cross, swim meet, ground keeper job shadow, and bowling for developmental disabled people
