San Jose Taiko | Sac State

The first event I shot this semester as a student photographer for the University Union was a Taiko drumming group from San Jose, California, who came to Sacramento State back in January. Looking back on this semester, San Jose Taiko is still one of my favorites of all of the events that I had the pleasure of photographing.

Track and Field | Mondo Mid-Major Challenge

On Saturday, Sacramento State hosted the Mondo Mid Major Challenge with UC Davis; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; University of Nevada, Reno; Fresno State and Portland State. Sac State's men finished first with 186 points, and women finished third with 124 points.

Baseball | Sac State vs. Seattle University

Saturday's baseball game against Seattle University, lasting 15 innings, was the longest in Sacramento State history.

Before the winning run in the 15th, Sac State had not scored since the sixth inning. This game was the 11th consecutive win for Sac State. 

After Sunday's win, bringing Sac State's winning streak to 12, they stand at first place in the Western Athletic Conference at 9-0.

This next sequence is of the winning run in the 15th inning and the celebration that followed -

Post-Yosemite | In-N-Out Burger + Herald, CA

The first thing we did after leaving Yosemite was drive to In-N-Out burger! Since Jake is from Tennessee, he hadn't had a chance to go to In-N-Out before. Katie and I were stoked for him, and he loved it.

First bite!

The fry experiment: fries light vs. normal fries vs. fries well.

On our way back to Sacramento, we stopped by to visit Katie's roommate's mom. We got to hang out with cats, dogs, peacocks, chickens, and horses. It was pouring rain out, but that didn't stop Katie from getting on her roommates horse and giving him some attention. 

Holden is the hugest dog I've ever seen - he's like a small bear. We all fell in love with him right away.

This is Cuba. I wanted to take him home with me.

This is a sweet pony named Bob.

This is Nehi. I was a bit scared of him at first because of his size, but he is such a sweetheart.
