Team USA Women's Basketball April Training Camp
This video highlights the Team USA Women's Basketball Training Camp that occurred in Phoenix in April 2026. It showcases the new opportunities for young players like Cameron Brink, JuJu Watkins and
Mikayla Blakes. Furthermore, it expands on how camps like this one in Phoenix allow for the best of the best in their sport to get closer together as friends as they prepare for the 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin, Germany. This video features two-time World Cup Champion center A'ja Wilson, forward Cameron Brink and managing director Sue Bird. The camp took place so Bird could decide who makes the final roster as the World Cup
approaches. I learned a lot about shooting an event like this, where we had so little time to get the shots I wanted. This caused me to think outside the box to get very unique shots.

This video showcases the 2026 World Championship Hoop Dance Contest that brought thousands to the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. The event had dancers
and performers from various cultures compete to see who is the best in such a sacred dance. This video also showcases the singers and drummers, who, one performer, Patrick Willie, says, might have a bigger part than the dancers themselves. This video features dancers Tony Duncan and Patrick Willie, as well as lead singer Sidrick Baker Sr. This video allowed me
to tell a story about a community I have not previously had the chance to showcase. I focused on the powerful dances in the shots and had the incredible sounds that came with them.

Moe Odum Profile: The Leader of ASU Men's Basketball
This video is a profile of the face of ASU Men's Basketball during the 2025-2026 season. Moe Odum, a guard from the Bronx who transferred to Arizona State from Pepperdine
University, got the chance to lead a Power Four team. He led the Sun Devils in points, assists, and 3-point percentage, and was tied for the lead in steals. One of the biggest things the guard wanted to be remembered by was his impact off the court. He was also a huge leader late in big games, such as against #13 Texas Tech. This video also features former ASU head coach Bobby Hurley and guard Noah Meeusen. My approach was
to show how much Odum mattered to the team and the fans. He has now run out of eligibility, but he will be remembered for a long time in Tempe.

This video shows off the longest-running darts league team in Arizona, the Toking Magpies. This team, started by Gary Smart and Tom Convey as ASU college students in 1978, has seen a bunch of change
throughout the past 47 years of playing darts. One thing remained the same: darts and their friendship. The name "Toking Magpies" comes from Smart and Convey getting high and watching the cartoon "Heckle and Jeckle." The Toking Magpies have even been featured in places like the Phoenix Magazine. This team has added new faces to the team whenever one teammate leaves. Smart and Convey are the only two original
