Hoopfest Image on Sports Illustrated

Wow…this was my main goal for covering the Hoopfest and I had about given up on it….

I pulled the link, it rotated out after a day or so:(

Screen Capture
Image is of Cory Joseph from Findlay Prep. And yes, I’m very pleased and excited. Look fast, I’m sure it will rotate out pretty quick:)

Blog and Website Change

Well, guess you may have noticed a few changes here:)I needed a more “static” main web page, hence the flash website at www.randysartin.com

This will allow me to “clean up” this blog a little bit, and I’ll be updating here on a regular basis. And yes, I know the blog is whacked out right now but I promise to fix it tomorrow!

Marshall County 2009 Hoopfest Pictures (Findlay Prep vs Christ School)

The 2009 Marshall County Hoopfest was absolutely fantastic! I’m just now getting around to editing and uploading all of the images, one gallery is already published with MaxPreps and is available at Findlay Prep vs Christ School Gallery. I’ll just keep updating this post as stuff becomes available, here are a few of my favorites from #1 Findlays’ game with #17 Christ School.

Oak Hill vs Jackson Callaway is now up, the easiest thing to do is to go to Randy’s MaxPrep’s Gallery, as the galleries get published they will be available there.

01-08-2010 UPDATE…OK I’ve pulled the images off because they are being downloaded left and right. If you’re a player wanting an image or two for Facebook or MySpace just send me a friendly email and I’ll take care of it:)

Getting Ready for Hoopfest!

Life can be funny…I’ve been wanting a studio for over a year now…now that’s finally happened and I’m too darn busy to think about it:)Oh well, there’s next week. Oh yeah, Julie Poole has done her usual great work updating the Images By Design Group Blog, so take a look!

I think everything’s about ready to load up and head to Benton, KY to cover the 2009 Marshall County Hoopfest for CBS MaxPreps. I’ve been very busy getting everything gathered, ready, and organized and hopefully we’re ready for about anything. Big thanks to Jamie Dahl for letting me crash the basketball tournament in Oliver Springs  he was covering, I was able to nail down some lighting issues there. Jamie published 5  games with MaxPreps, you can see them here. More big thanks to Russ Bryson who provided me with some great backup equipment (we Nikon shooters are a close bunch), I’ll sleep much easier knowing I’m covered if anything goes wrong.

So I’m leaving out early Friday morning, shooting 5 games Friday,  7 on Saturday, and back home on Sunday. The Tournament actually starts tomorrow at 5:00 PM CST, See Ya!!!

Randy joins Images By Design Group!

I’m very pleased to announce that I have joined the Images By Design Group Studio here in Knoxville! The group is comprised of three other photographers…Wade Payne, Lisa Norman-Hudson, and Julie Poole. These three are high on my list of favorite photographers and their list of accomplishments and awards is way too long to get into here. We feel that it’s a great “fit” for everyone involved and I am excited about what the future holds. So what does all this mean for Randy Sartin Photography?

First and foremost, we are no longer shooting in my garage! The Studio is first rate and I can’t wait to get started, it sure will be a lot more comfortable this winter. Plus we have unlimited options on lighting, backgrounds, etc. There will be a few other minor changes, but for the most part we just have a new home:)

We will be having a little get together at the studio before long, plus we are going to run some specials for the fans of Randy Sartin Photography on Facebook. What, you’re not a fan? You better get over to our Facebook Page and get signed up!

Loudon County at Alcoa Football Playoffs

Images from the Loudon County at Alcoa football game are now online with MaxPreps Here . All of the nine games I shot this year for MaxPreps are located HERE and includes White County, Anderson County, Halls, Bearden, Farragut, Clinton, Alcoa, Loudon, and CAK.

I’ve really had a great time covering High School Football this year! MaxPreps has been great to work with and I also need to give special thanks to all of the great people at Anderson County High School, they allowed me to have pretty unlimited access while I learned how to shoot football in the dark:)
