Sam Morris: Favorites From 2013

Mon, Dec 23, 2013 (4:50 p.m.)

I am fortunate to cover a lot of the sporting events in Las Vegas, and with all the moments I get to witness it can be difficult to pick just a few favorites. I enjoy covering sports as each event is (usually) a tidy story with beginning, middle and end that includes winners and losers, heroes and villains and often some drama. Occasionally things take a turn for the worse as with the vicious fighting between Chivas and Club America fans at an exhibition soccer game. Other times I am able to find some nice graphic imagery such as in the overhead photo of UNLV’s Mike Moser and New Mexico’s Chad Adams. I do get to shoot more than sports and I enjoy finding little moments like a man upset that his attempt at gaining the interest of a tourist on the Strip was rebuffed at 5 a.m. or a kiss shared in the back of a limo on prom night.
