Beckham Calls in Reinforcements

David Beckham's L.A. Galaxy got their first victory in over two months last night over DC United winning 5-2. The pressure is really on Becks and his team, they in danger of missing the MLS playoffs, they need to pull it together the rest of the way, and this was a good start.
Bruce Arena took over as head coach recently and they added a couple new players to try and turn things around. I hope they do.
Becks congratulates Landon Donovan, who recorded a hat trick.

Air Beckham

OK, I know the Olympics is "the" sports story right now for most folks, but David Beckham and the LA Galaxy were back in action last night in a spirited match against Los Angeles rival Chivas USA. The game ended in a 2-2 tie, but Beckham and friends were lucky to get that with an injury time goal to even it with about 2 minutes left.

Baron Davis Basketball Camp

Had a gig photographing a basketball camp by hoops star Baron Davis , the newest member of the Los Angeles Clippers and former UCLA point guard, over the weekend. The camp was held at his high school alma mater Crossroads Academy in Santa Monica. As a way of giving back to the community, Baron founded Rising Stars of America , a non-profit organization which is directed by Daryl Roper, head basketball coach , teacher and mentor at Crossroads Academy. The young campers were excited to be tutored by the NBA star, and were excited when they got to have a Q&A session with him. There is definitely a buzz among LA hoops fans with Baron coming home to play for the Clippers this season.

Victoria and David Beckham

Here's my my bi-monthly Beckham /LA Galaxy update. Victoria Beckham sat in the private box, but the Galaxy lost 2-1 to New England on July 4th. Becks wielded a knife to cut off a wrap during the middle of game action.

Beckham and LA Galaxy Tied Up

David Beckham and his Galaxy tied the Columbus Crew on a hot Saturday night in steamy SoCal. Becks had a chance to win the game near the in the last couple of minutes, but his shot sailed over the goal. He was clearly bummed out and knelt on the ground for a few moments after the shot. After the match a very happy fan got Becks game jersey. Here's a photo for the ladies

Beckham Fan Runs onto Field

A David Beckham fan decided he wanted to meet Becks in person, the problem was he ran onto the field in the middle of a LA Galaxy match against Colorado. Somehow he made it past security, hugging Becks until Galaxy teammate Chris Klein knocked the fan off . Security then came out to get the fan out of there. What an idiot. Oh yeah, the Galaxy won the match 3-2.

Score One for Becks!

Fun match last night for David Beckham and the LA Galaxy, and some nice photo opps for me as well! Becks happily celebrated after he shot a 70 yard empty net goal(top photo) at the end of the match to punctuate a 3-1 Galaxy victory. He also got into a heated little exchange with a defender for the KC Wizards, and followed that up with an artistic dive trying to draw a penalty on his foe.I won't be shooting the next Galaxy home game because Beckham is joining the English national team for a couple matches, and my assignment is strictly to cover Becks at these matches. It definitely makes it way easier for me to focus on one player when I am photographing these matches.

Beckham's Frustrating Evening

David Beckham and his L.A. Galaxy were thoroughly frustrated in their loss to the NY Red Bulls Saturday night at the Home Depot Center. Beckham's totals- no goals, no assists, one yellow card.... and no wife Victoria aka Posh Spice sitting at her usual spot in the luxury box either.
