We returned for one day following our gig shooting the women's Pac-12 tourney in Seattle the four days before. We didn't get back to Eugene until around 3:30am that Monday morning so we slept in a bit and got as much done as we could. I had end of term assignments to bust out and E had some business to take care of. Tuesday afternoon rolled up and we drove to Portland for to catch our flight to Las Vegas, Nevada. The Pac-12 provided us with rooms at the MGM which was the location of this year's men's tournament. We spent the next four days shooting practically non-stop. We shot every game, several pool parties, several exclusive events, and a ton of marketing/promotions and signage.

A little 'by the numbers' before my 40 best photos:

• I personally created 155.8 GB of data. 
• 12,022 photos shot over four days.
• Eric and I provided the Pac-12 with 1,493 cropped and toned shots.
• We shot on five different cameras (four 1D Mark IVs and one D600).
• We used seven different lenses (300mm, 24-70mm, 16-35mm, two 70-200mm, 24-105mm, and the 15mm )
