Week 8/9: North Carolina | Travel Photographer | 52 Week Project |

This past week, my wife and I traveled to North Carolina to watch rounds two and three of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship; aka. “March Madness”. Along the way to Greensboro, we stopped in Pittsburgh so she could see her Ohio State Buckeyes.

The idea behind these images was to try and capture sports photography: fast-action, high-paced and difficult to get a good shot. The numerous ones below are some of my favourite shots of the week, including a visit to Chapel Hill.

Got comments about the photos? Comments about the Lehigh mascot/the shirt I’m wearing? Drop them below.

Harrison Barnes (40) drives to the net during third round action in Greensboro, March 18. While visiting Chapel Hill the day after #15 seed Lehigh University knocked off #2 Duke, we discovered a shop that was selling these shirts for $20. Taking a picture with the Lehigh mascot while wearing it, that was a given. Two days after #15 seed Lehigh University knocked off #2 Duke, a couple of UNC and NC State fans seem to have lost a friend of theirs. A Lehigh fan celebrates two days after knocking off Duke, during third round action in Greensboro, March 18.
