A Year in Photos 2016
For the first time ever, the MGoBlog staff photographers covered all 13 Michigan Football games. In addition we covered Basketball, Gymnastics, Hockey, Softball, Signing of the Stars, The Nike/Jumpman Launch, and many other media days, press conferences, etc. It has been an interesting ride and we've loved every minute of it.
First and foremost, thank you to Brian, Ace, Seth, Adam, and David for all that you do to make our job possible. You guys are awesome!
Second, thanks to the readership of MGoBlog. Your support on the blog and through social media has been outstanding. We appreciate all of you…well most of you…well some of you. It's hard to believe that I have just finished covering my 6th season of football for MGoBlog. It has been an interesting ride thus far. I'm looking forward to many more seasons on the sideline.
I also want to make sure that we thank the other photographers who stepped in when one of us can not cover a game: Bill Rapai, Marc-Gregor Campredon, Paul Sherman, and Joseph Dressler. You guys have done a great job.
All that out of the way, I thought I'd share some of my favorite photos (from all of us) to come out of it.

[After THE JUMP]
The most memorable game for me to shoot this season was Indiana. Everybody remembers the snow globe. It was the first time I'd ever shot in a snowstorm.

The University has said the official block M logo is maize. So why do they keep using the blue one with mazie trim?

I look at all these fantastic pictures from all these great games and when I see the Evans TD shot all I can think of is "I cant fucking believe that asshole hesitated coming out of the end zone after that score and we didnt blast him on about the 5 yard line. How in the Hell did we let him run the kick back as far as we did and lose that game? Why did we choose this kick to not kick it out of the endzone like we did every other one that game???"
I guess I'm not a glass half full kinda guy.....

I had ALMOST eliminated thoughts of that kickoff from my mind. Now it's back.

I especially enjoy the non-football pics since I don't pay attention to those much! Gymnastics and Romero photos are awesome.

Love the eye of the tiger photo. The snowglobe game will be one of my all time game memories. It was just beautiful and everyone was loving it. Especially the players.

the Train photo is my favorite, and the Indiana game was magical at the end.

Great stuff! The gymnastics one is awesome!

If you guys ever need someone to tag along and hold bags and lenses for you, let me know. I'm in the Alumni Band and get to be on the field once a year. The sound and speed of the players from field level is something everyone should experience at least once.
