Arizona State’s basketball team probably put on the worst performance I ever seen in the 4 years I have been following them. The Sun Devils put up a paltry 29 points in two halves of play, and some are starting to wonder what the hell is Coach Bobby Hurley doing. The Devils shot a horrible…

The origin of this is something that I have been unable to find. The first time I had heard of this shot was when I was reading Willie Mosconi’s “Winning Pocket Billiards”. Written in 1965 Mosconi gives us a beginner’s guide to learn how the basics of pool and how to make some simple trick…

Arizona State’s basketball team got off to a shaky start last Tuesday when they played a small school from Portland, Oregon. ASU won 76-60 but the game wasn’t the blowout I hoped. Bobby Hurley clearly has his work cut out for him. After losing some of his talent to graduation and transfers last year, It…

Arizona State had a rough going Saturday afternoon, losing to Washington State 34-21. ASU turned the ball over on their first 3 drives, and the Cougars took full advantage of it by building a 28-7 lead. ASU was able to get a touchdown at the half but it would be the only real highlight of…

A couple of Friday’s ago I went to a nearby high school called Mountain Ridge to watch some high school football. It had been many years since I have done that and since I didn’t have any kids I never considered going anyway. However, when you are wanting to learn how to be a photographer,…

I was riding home today and I still can’t get over how beautiful sunsets can be in Arizona. I mean I have traveled all over the world and I still think the best ones are here. Below I saw a poem about Sunsets that I enjoyed. The sunset, woven of soft lightsAnd tender colors, lingers…
