My 2011 College Football

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Jim Urquhart

These season I shot all but one of Utah’s home college football games for the Associated Press. I just put together a gallery of the images I liked for whatever reason. Some of the images got really good play. If you are a rabid Utah fan you may not like it, but I think I was very fair in my coverage of the year.

You can see the gallery HERE.

Ron McBride Retires

Posted on November 14, 2011 by Chris Detrick

Weber State’s Ron McBride coached his last home game last Saturday. More pictures can be seen on my blog HERE.

Weber State Head Coach Ron McBride is lifted up by his football team after winning the game at Stewart Stadium Saturday November 12, 2011. McBride, 72, has coached the Wildcats since 2005 and has an overall record of 41-38, including 32-21 in the Big Sky Conference. In 2008 and 2009, McBride guided Weber State to back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision playoffs for the first time in school history. Weber State won the game 34-31.

Arizona State 35 – Utah 14

Posted on October 9, 2011 by Jim Urquhart

I finally came away with a football game shoot I really feel good about so far this season. Saturday I covered Arizona State beating Utah for the Associated Press. My coverage got good play including a full page width pic in the New York Times of the punt picture. I would love any feedback if available. You can see more of the shoot HERE.

Nice work Trent.
— August Miller on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics
No wonder they lost, he’s totally bored.
— Brian Nicholson on Kobe Bryant Arrives
Scott, this is an amazing, though chilling, frame.
— Trent Nelson on Accident investigation
I just want to say that I’m learning a lot from this coversation. Thanks everyone.
— Trevor Christensen on Questions questions
Huh…. Nice boom light. How much do you think the SLFD would charge to rent that bad boy out to drop a little light in a hard to get to place for an upcoming shoot?
— Bryan William Jones on Accident investigation
Great job Trent, way to find the angles.
— scott winterton on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics
Garry that’s one thing I see as a positive in all this. Though I’m not getting a day rate, it does at least open a few new doors to me that otherwise might not open. Even at the high school level of sports they require a UHSAA credential (different scenario, but the restricted access idea is the same) While I’m not banking on the idea of spec shooting as being my largest source of income, at least for me right now I see it as a step forward.
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions
A question I have is what about credentials? As a freelancer and especially doing spec shooting, it is so difficult to get credentials. Granted great photos may be had at events without such, but getting into the inner circle where the photos are is out. There’s also the cost of events, there are times one can’t afford the cost. I remember getting into many events just showing the press I.D., for instance the zoo. Great place to find a feature photo, but can’t afford the entrance fee now, and just to get a photo to add to the portfolio...

Lol, the “no worries” was in direct reference to the no gf/wife/child/dependant thought. I have plenty of worries in my life Senor Smith. And I definitely understand the idea of not needing professional sports to make great photos. I shoot a lot of concerts, and I think some of my best images were from unknown artists at Kilby Court. And while the idea is true that you can make great images no matter what scene your in, (correct me if I’m wrong) the fact of the matter is that no matter what, even a great photo at a high school...

Man, I do need your life you. No worries? You must have a good stock of Diet Coke. I’m jealous. Don’t worry. They’ll come if you decide to become a freelancer or you decide to get a girlfriend. Kidding aside, spec shooting is a bad idea. I tell kids in college it’s not. Why? It’s a means of shooting and portfolio building. Is it smart? No. But when you’re in college you have a miniature world at your disposal. No real life pressures or expenses. Basically you can do whatever you want. It’s a great time to...
