Techsters host Houston

Posted by Matt Lange on Nov 24, 2010 in Basketball, Louisiana Tech, Sports | 0 comments

It’s been a long week this week.  Plenty of ups and downs.  So I decided yesterday to do something I hadn’t done in quite some time….shoot sports.  I went on over to the TAC here in Ruston to watch, and shoot, my Lady Techsters of Louisiana Tech.  I love this team.  They are so much fun to watch.  Adrienne Johnson, 33, is absolutely outstanding and one day will take me up on my one-on-one challenge.  And if you haven’t seen T-Spoon coach yet, well, that’s an event in itself.

Even though we lost lastnight, I have high hopes for this team.  I feel confident we will make the NCAA tourney.  Look out world.

Here are a few.  I may be a little rusty, but there will be more of this to come.

Head over to LATechSports.com for all the latest Techster and Bulldog scoop.

Lady Techster Poster

This has been popping up around town. This is the 2010-11 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters schedule poster I designed at Donnie Bell Design. Why do I have it on my blog? It’s the first poster that I shot all the images for and designed myself from start to finish. It’s a pretty cool feeling. It’s getting awesome reviews and I, personally, think it looks really cool. I’m excited about this season. The Techsters are supposed to be really good and maybe will return to the elite status of years past. National title? Maybe.

John Wall and the UK Show

I had the opportunity to shoot John Wall and the Kentucky Wildcats last weekend when they came to Baton Rouge to take on LSU. Needless to say, it wasn’t much of a game after the first 10 minutes. John Wall is clearly, every bit as good as the experts say he is. I was highly impressed with the entire Kentucky operation. They even held an impromptu slam dunk contest with themselves before the game. They are my pick to win it all, and after the game I saw, I hope they do.

Getting published is always cool, but this time it’s a bit different.  In the previous post, at the bottom, I mentioned how I never get the player intro shots but that my friend Aaron snatched my camera and got some himself.  Well, one of those shots landed as a headliner on Louisiana Tech’s official website.  Hats off to Aaron.  If you’re anything like me, it’s a very cool feeling.

LA Tech Basketball – I’m Back In The Game

Posted by Matt Lange on Jan 31, 2010 in Basketball | 2 comments

Man, it’s been a long time, at least it feels like, since I shot sports.  Being back in Ruston has it’s perks.  I do a lot of work for Louisiana Tech and that lands me courtside/sideline a lot. One great great thing about being at Tech is how laid back it is.  When I shoot LSU, it just seems so intense, not so much here.  Lastnight Tech took on New Mexico State.  The Bulldogs fought hard but in the end came up short.  I’m proud of  Tech this year.  They have a solid team and seem to be on the brink of great things.  For me, the game seemed a little rusty.  It took a while to get used to the speed of basketball again.  But I think I got some pretty good shots.  Can’t wait for the next one.  Also, it’s great to see all the old friends at the game…..it’s good to be back.

One thing I find interesting about shooting basketball are the little elements of the game.  Things like the writing on the shoes…

…and I also find the tattoos to be very interesting.

I also just liked this next shot a lot.  Not sure why.  Just cool to me.

One thing I’ve never done but really wanted to do, is shoot players when they are being introduced.  And I still haven’t.  These shots were taken by a young up and coming sports photographer, and son of a good friend of mine, Aaron Boersma.  Remember that name.  I think we will be seeing good things in the coming years from him.

LSU Basketball Season Has Begun

This is my favorite sport to shoot. The next few months will be fun. LSU started off with a win too. That’s always a plus.
