Going viral on the Internet

On April 6, I had the opportunity to shoot some photo and video at the Texans Cheerleaders Tryouts and the outcome was so good that the Texans decided to promote my work and invite me to do more coverage.

My video was reposted by the Texans official twitter, and the amount of viewers skyrocketed.

This was a great experience for me and also a great opportunity to put my name out there. The response has been so great that I'm currently working on getting an audition with a local tv station to host a sports show. I still have a lot to learn, but the fact that big organizations are out there promoting my work , through social media, has helped me grow within a very competitive business.

On a side note, I was at the Houston Dynamo game on Sunday also doing some coverage. It was a special day for the city and the sport, because Houston reached a milestone of 35 games unbeaten at home. There are only two more teams with more wins, Canadiens 39 and Chicago Bulls 44, but as far as soccer goes, Houston holds the record.

Here are some images I took at the game, and if you ever have a chance to attend a game, do it. Tickets are cheap and you'll definitely get to enjoy a great game.

It's Soccer Season

Last night I had the chance to work the Houston Dynamo game against Santos from Mexico.

The game is part of the CONCACAF Champions League, in which only the best teams of the region play. The Dynamo are now in the playoffs and they managed to win 1-0.

The atmosphere was intense, not what you normally see at a baseball, football or even hockey game. The fans waved their flags and scarves, people chanting and banging drums through the whole game and the team displaying great playing skills on the field.

These are just some of the photos I took from the game, but photos can't describe what it feels to be in that stadium with that crowd.

Next home game won't be until after spring break and if you're passionate about sports or just want to see something different, drop by BBVA Compass Stadium, it's in downtown and ticket prices start as low as $20. I can guarantee you a great time and you will probably want go back.

P.S. The Dynamo has never lost a game at home.
