The most recent Thunder game January 30, 2011 | Leave a comment I was tempted to spend time finding the perfect pun for the title of this post. It might have involving the name of Miami’s NBA basketball team and Oklahoma’s forecast over the next week. I thought about it, but I couldn’t bring myself to go through with it. Sarah Phipps and I shot nearly 40 GB of images... Read More

Remember the 10 January 27, 2011 Ten years ago today, 10 men with the Oklahoma State basketball program died in a plane crash while returning from a game against Colorado. OSU honored those who died with a ceremony retiring the No. 10 during halftime of last night’s basketball game against Texas. Here of some photos Sarah Phipps took at the... Read More

Star Wars Day at Lloyd Noble January 24, 2011 It was an exciting afternoon at Lloyd Noble Center last Saturday. First, the OU men’s basketball team won a conference game, defeating Colorado 67-60.  And almost better than a win from the Sooners, it was Star Wars Day at the game. I must admit, as a lifelong lover of the Star Wars films (and to be clear,... Read More

Pictures I Like-Previously Unseen Version January 19, 2011 I’ve probably averaged one or two rodeo events a year for the last 14 years. Even so, I saw a couple of things on Sunday during the last day of the IFR that I’d never seen before;  a horse stood straight up in the chute (above) and left a cowboy hanging on the fence and the ‘Equine Ambulance’ made an...

Images from the MLK Parade January 17, 2011 Dennis Lewis was in second grade when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. He met Martin Luther King III once, and even traveled to Memphis to see where the civil rights leader and pastor was assassinated. Lewis started carrying an American flag in the MLK Parade in Oklahoma City in 1982. He’s near the front of the... Read More

Inauguration Day January 10, 2011 Mary Fallin was sworn in as Oklahoma’s 27th governor, and the first female governor, during a ceremony today outside the State Capitol in Oklahoma City. Staff Photographers Jim Beckel and Chris Landsberger photographed the ceremony outside, while I stayed inside to watch a much quicker ceremony. One with... Read More

Best of 2010-Part 7 of 12 January 04, 2011 We’ve made it up to July. At this rate we’ll get through last year’s highlights by next week. One of my favorite fourth of July pictures was taken by Sarah Phipps this month. We also had more flooding, International Finals Youth Rodeo in Shawnee and the 2010 Sitting Volleyball World Championships in Edmond.... Read More

Best of 2010-Part 6 of 12 January 03, 2011 Two days ago I found an old fortune cookie in my coat pocket. The fortune inside said ‘under-promise and over deliver.’ Clearly, I could have used that advice before I started the ill-fated attempt to get 12 months of pictures written into blog posts late in December. So here we are in January looking at... Read More

Happy New Year January 03, 2011 Here are a few images from the last few minutes of 2010 and the first couple of days of the new year. A couple of these were published in the newspaper, but not all of them. If you missed the Sports Monday section of this morning’s newspaper there was a layout of some of our favorite sports images from 2010. You... Read More
