Best of 2011
2011 was a fun and busy year, too busy that I haven’t been able to complete most of my archiving for 2011. That being said, there might be some photo gems hiding from me…But, wanted to thank everyone for their help in making this year fun for me….To the pictures!
Luck for Heisman

2011 HOF Tara VanDerveer
As Stanford Cardinal Women’s Basketball head coach Tara VanDerveer heads into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame today, I wanted to look back at a few photographs I had taken during my years as team photographer for the athletic department at Stanford. Congratulations to Tara!!!
Christie & Joe Stepan’s Wedding
Everyone knows me as a sports photographer, photographing the San Francisco Giants to covering the Olympics. But, it’s always nice to mix in non-sporting events to keep my creativity flowing.
Best of 2010
2010 was a year I will never forget. Having to experience my first Olympics, and it was a rare one at it too! Having the combination of the weather from a Summer Olympics and the sporting events from a Winter Olympics!!!
Once an Eagle, always an Eagle
My cousin, Daniel J.R. Ishida, was honored today with his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Eagle Scout is the highest ranking in Boy Scouting and only a handful achieve this rank. Daniel is a member of Troop 201 from Wesley United Methodist Church in San Jose, CA. Congratulations Daniel!
GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLL
I’m not a big soccer fan because I feel the game is a little too slow to watch. But, as a photographer, it’s a sport I enjoy to photograph. My company got word that only one credential was approved for the Real Madrid/Club America match, so I happily gave the credential to my partner and soccer lover Jason O. Watson. My company asked for Jason to cover Club America’s practice (day before the match) and request for a second credential in order to fulfill the requests of our clients who wanted deep coverage of both teams. Jason had no luck at practice to get a second credential, so I thought I was safe and happy to have a day off. Jason went back the morning of the match to pick up his parking pass and called me with “Kyle, I got you a second credential.” In my head, I said, “there goes my day off!” But, by the end of the night, I was really thankful to photograph the match!
Tennis
This week, I photographed the Bank of the West Classic Women’s Tennis Tournament held at Stanford University. 29 matches later, I am grateful that I had a camera in front of me for the whole time or else my neck would be sore from serve-left-right-left-right-serve-left.
