WSU at Stanford, 19 January 2012

Bryan Adachi

A new contributor! Bryan is unique among our contributors in shooting from the West side of Maples. And he often gets great "head shots"—face portraits of players and staff. In this Picasa gallery he shows his pics from the Tennessee game, with a series of great head shots of Pat Summitt, and his pics from the recent Washington State game, where he used depth-of-field to get this study of Jos Tinkle:

Click through the gallery for the Summitt studies and (Mrs. La Rocque take note!) a devastatingly adorable study of Lindy. She'll hate it; we love it.

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts a bunch of crisp action shots to her Smugmug gallery, with Lindy, Jos, even "Cyclops Tree" in action, but mostly featuring Ogwumikes, like this of Nneka completing a steal:

Michael Li

You see the above shot of Nneka with a steal? Michael Li caught almost the same instant. Find it in his Flickr set along with Amber in a tangle, Taylor launching a three, and this of Bonnie doing the same:

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 28 shots to his Flickr set with Toni forcing a held ball, Bonnie in the act of shooting a three, and this one of Sarah getting a block:

Dave Cortesi

I got just one pic worth showing: a set-to-continuous sequence of Sara hurling a Victory Ball. I'll just drop it here; click to embigify. Nice pitching form, James.
