This year the annual Moose Madness Basketball Spirit Games between Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry were held in Sandpoint.  Bonners Ferry came in seeking to defend as champion, but this year Sandpoint pulled out a win.  One thing I learned at this game was that I need to add ear plugs to my photography bag for next year’s competition!  Here are some photos from the different portions of the evening, a link to all the galleries from this event can be found at the bottom of this post.

My sports coverage was a little lighter this week due to some portrait work and a wedding in Sacramento.   I love shooting sports but I also have to pay my bills so portrait and wedding work always takes priority!  I did make sure to schedule my flights for the wedding so that I would only miss a Saturday’s worth of games though.  Here is this weeks recap of my sports and sports related work this last week.

This last week volleyball was added to the mix of fall sports, I had the opportunity to photograph the varsity match between Lake City and Sandpoint as well as the JV and varsity matches between Kellogg and Lakeland.  On the soccer side of things I made my way to Post Falls for their game against Coeur d’Alene, to Lake City High School as they faced Sandpoint and Priest River as they hosted Kellogg.  I had two football games on my schedule this week.  Friday night it was Sandpoint as they traveled to Spokane to take on East Valley High School, then Saturday I visited Lake City to cover the JV game against Mead.  When I arrived I found referees and a lake city team but no Mead team!  It turns out that Mead had a team ready to go but no bus to take them to Coeur d’Alene for their game.  I went searching for some Junior tackle football to shoot but to no avail, I did however find a parking spot right in front of Hudson’s Hamburgers in downtown Coeur d’Alene, clearly this was a sign that I needed to have a couple of cheeseburgers for breakfast!

2011-2012 Sports Season

/in /by

I know it feels like summer has barely started, but July is almost over and August is right around the corner.  That means that the fall high school sports season is not far away!  I recently downloaded fall season calendars for a number of the North Idaho teams and am beginning to formulate my plans for what games and teams I am going to be shooting this season.   I shoot freelance for a number of Northern Idaho papers as well as for idahosports.com, but as a freelancer I usually get to decide what games I am going to be covering.

Over the last year I have received quite a few requests from parents and athletes to come and photograph different games and teams and have tried to accommodate those requests as much as possible.  With many athletes and teams requesting photography I thought that I might publish a few tips.  So, how do you increase the odds of having Jason Duchow Photography show up to photograph your games?  I have two easy to remember tips.

1. Bribe me!  Yes, I can be bought!  Food is often tempting, but for those of you that recognize me you know I don’t need any more goodies!   Feel  free, however,  to offer me large sums of money!

2.  Buy prints or downloads!  This works kind of like the bribe, except it requires only small sums of money and you get high quality prints and high resolution digital files to keep forever!

One more bonus tip. Grab last year’s prints before the new school year starts.  Last year’s sports seasons will soon be completely lost in the dust of the new school year, cruise on over and get your prints from the 2010-2011 seasons before that happens!  Here is a link!

Here is to a great 2011-2012 sports season, I am looking forward to seeing some great action this year through one eye pressed hard against my viewfinder!


W.N.R.S.: Wednesday Night Ride 07/20/2011

/in /by

Yesterday afternoon I was able to make it to another of All About Adventure’s 2011 Wednesday Night Ride Series races at Farragut State Park.  This time around my Assistant, affectionately known as my “voice activated light stand” was not able to make the trip.  Thankfully my trusty boom stand was able to make it along for the day, with the help of a bungee cord and a couple of helpful trees I was able to get a decent lighting set up.  Of course, being a little less mobile meant fewer shots than the last ride, but I got a some keepers anyway.  Here are some shots from the ride and the after ride festivities.  A link to the full gallery can be found at the bottom of the post.

The food was provided by 24 Hour For Hank, a non-profit organization seeking to raise money to combat a rare genetic disease called Cystinosis.  For more information about their organization and upcoming fund raising events check out their website at: http://www.24hoursforhank.org/
