Duke of Canes Football

Miami Hurricanes Duke Johnson celebrates a 54 yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- We have seen the face and the future of Miami Hurricanes football and need but a single syllable to say it:

Duke.

No. Wait.

Duke!

The exclamatory is necessary if you want that syllable to sound like what Duke Johnson looked like here Saturday afternoon in sparking and lifting UM to its season-opening 41-32 victory over Boston College. Read more here:

It's always great when the Canes travel to Boston. It gives me an excuse to say "leave the gun, take the canolli" at Mike's Pastry in the North End. The weather was beautiful at Alumni Stadium at Chestnut Hill. All the action was shot on a Canon Mark EOS 1D Mark IV hanging on a Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap, using the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. The older version of the Canon EF EOS 400 f2.8L IS   is mounted to the second Canon camera body.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- The Miami Hurricanes found their quarterback.

And thanks to a baby-faced freshman named Randy “Duke” Johnson, they found their way.

Johnson ran for 135 yards on seven carries — including touchdown sprints of 54 and 56 yards — to help the Canes bounce back from a 14-0 deficit Saturday and defeat Boston College 41-32 in the season opener at Alumni Stadium. Read more here:

2012 Football Preview

Football at last, my favorite time of year! Here are some of the preview section fronts and portraits I photographed for The Miami Herald this season.
University of Miami running back Mike James
Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush and Booker T. Washington High's linebacker and top college prospect Matthew Thomas. Page design by Robert Cohn.
Florida International University's Wayne Times, (5), Tourek Williams, (97) and Johnathan Cyprien, (7)
For lights I used three Dynalite strobe heads for hair light, fill or background. The main light source is from a Norman pack with a Norman 5 X 22" Soft Light Beauty Dish Reflector and grid. It was all shot on a Canon Mark EOS 1D Mark IV using the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM.

The Big Dig at PortMiami

Tunnel boring worker Ludovic Demarle pumps his fist as he pops out from behind the large blade used to excavate the new PortMiami tunnel.

Tunnel Drilling is Halfway Done!


The sight of the enormous drill named “Harriet”, reminded me of Darth Vader’s Death Star. The tunnel boring machine excavating under Government Cut was starting to peek through after months of digging from Watson Island.  Just as the largest chunks of rock pounded the earth the Star Wars Imperial Death March ringtone on someone’s cell phone went off. 
This image was shot with a Canon EOS 1D Mark IV SLR Digital camera with a Canon zoom wide angle - telephoto EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. Shutter speed at 1/2000 second, F-stop 6.3 with an ISO of 250.

The making of an under-the-bay tunnel from the MacArthur Causeway to PortMiami reached a milestone Tuesday when the giant boring machine completed half the journey through Government Cut eight months after the digging began.

Now that one side of the tunnel has been carved out, the machine will be taken apart, turned around and pointed in the opposite direction to dig another tunnel back toward Watson Island. Read More Here:
