Today I launched MGoPhoto, a website fully dedicated to Michigan Football photography…and changed all my social media handles.
This was a long time in the making…19 years to be exact 😬😂
I wrote some words to describe the why here ⬇️ mgophoto.substack.com/p/hello-there

hi I have a question
if you have an employee who "would break down sobbing in staff meetings," why would you not do everything you can to support their mental health

From @theathletic.com: Uncomfortable Instagram messages with women and emotional outbursts with staff paint a picture of a coach who had become increasingly volatile. nyti.ms/4p6WFxK

If I were in any position of authority at UM, and I needed to make tough decisions about what happens next, I'd consult with some FB alums...starting with some dudes who were just in town very recently.

I take a lot of photos, and yeah none of this is truly unique...but I did notice more of it on Saturday than usual.

This was my first full Ohio State game on the sidelines. It was cold, snowy, a bad game for our boys…but I still had a blast. Truly a privilege shooting this rivalry.

Michigan’s biggest highlight of the day. Jyaire Hill’s interception on Ohio State’s opening drive. Probably needed 6 out of this turnover, but still a great play by Hill against the best receiver in the country.

Back home. Feet up. Beer in hand.
Tough one. Hats off to Ohio State – they’re elite. For Michigan, a lot to fix. Going to be a huge task this offseason to get back to championship-caliber.
Photos will go up tomorrow.
Thank you all for following along! Go Blue Forever!
