March Madness

The madness of March is here and it’s probably my favorite and craziest times of year. I look forward to it, but I’m always glad when it’s over. Last year was special and nutty, the Jayhawks kept me away from home for most of March and part of April. This year I’m covering the Kansas State Wildcats, as long as they win I will stay here in Oklahoma City. If they lose I will be back in Kansas ASAP to help shoot  high school hoops. Both are good gigs, the same game, just a smaller arena.

 I shot my first NCAA tournament for the Wichita Eagle in 1988. I’ve not missed too many in the years between then and now. This blog is new for you and it’s certainly new for me, but tomorrow I will try to walk you through a day of covering one of my favorite basketball events, the Big 12 Tournament.

 

 Check out our galleries on Kansas.com and enjoy our images from the all of the tournaments that we cover.

What the heck? How did he do that?

Eagle outdoors writer Michael Pearce spent some time over the weekend with his new camera similar to this one. It fires (frames, not ammo) when it senses motion. Pearce mounted the camera on land in Harvey County and placed corn on the ground to entice raccoons, deer and other random critters.

When I saw his series of 200 images, I thought it would make a great video. I put it together in Final Cut Pro and added some royalty-free music to it. Enjoy.
