Texas Rangers beat Los Angeles Angels and Josh Hamilton

I covered the Texas Rangers / Los Angeles Angels game Sunday night for Getty Images. For just my second baseball game of the season I came away with some nice photos. It usually takes me a couple of weeks to relearn how to photograph baseball after the long off-season. UPDATE, apparently I spawned the "Sad Josh Hamilton" meme on tumblr, http://sadjoshhamilton.tumblr.com/

Monkeying around starts off a wild weekend at TMS

Spending three days at Texas Motor Speedway covering WinStar World Casino 350k, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Challenge and the AAA Texas 500 will wear a person out. But two Capuchin monkeys, who where hired by TMS President Eddie Gossage to sell programs, stole the show for me at least. Check out some of the highlighted photos below, about 34 images in all. You can read a couple of the stories here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/11/06/2610529_april-victory-at-tms-put-hamlin.html and here: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/11/07/2612192/pit-stops.html
