Photo Essay: Austin Bowles

This semester for my photojournalism class I spent a month trailing after Austin, one of my friends and co-workers who also happens to be Pistol Pete. Here’s my final photo essay.

College Basketball: OKState vs. Kansas

On Wednesday the Cowboys lost  soul-crushingly by one in double overtime to Kansas.

Here are some pictures, blah blah blah, I’m still traumatized.

College Basketball: Bedlam

Bedlam 2013 wasn’t lacking in excitement for the full house that turned up in Gallagher-Iba this afternoon: both teams fought tooth-and-nail into overtime before the Cowboys pulled out their 84-79 win over the Sooners.

Check out my photos (court rushing and all) below.

Women’s Basketball: OKState vs. Stephen F. Austin

The Cowgirls stomped Stephen F. Austin 85-41 tonight to keep the nation’s longest winning streak intact for another night. Oklahoma State remains undefeated this season.

Women’s Basketball: OKState vs. Texas Southern

The OSU women’s basketball team was the only hope for OSU sports today.

The Cowgirls took down Texas Southern 91-49 in Gallagher-Iba Arena this afternoon. The Cowgirls have now gone undefeated in a 12-game streak, dating back to last season’s WNIT title; it’s currently the longest women’s basketball winning streak in the nation.

Liz Donohoe and Lindsey Keller were the Cowgirls’ leading scorers with 18 points apiece, followed by Toni Young, who put up 16.

College Football: OKState vs. West Virginia

Saturday OSU took on West Virginia and came out ahead 55-34 in a game that got a little stressful for my liking.

Dragonfly 2012: Glamazons of the Amazon

OSU Student Activities Board’s ‘Dragonfly’ is Oklahoma’s largest drag show. The event happens every spring, and the theme for 2012’s show was ‘Glamazons of the Amazon.’

Dragonfly was hosted by professional drag queen Jak’kay Monroe. The show featured an amateur competition made up of members of OSU student organizations, as well as professional drag queens Carmen Deveraux, Cordilla Monroe, Vanity Halston, Jexa van de Kamp and professional drag king Damian Matrix. This year’s special guest was Raja (pictured above), winner of season 3 of LOGO’s RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Proceeds from this year’s event went to The Equality Network.

Homecoming & Hoops 2012

Homecoming and Hoops is an annual event the night before OSU’s homecoming where the men and women’s basketball teams scrimmage with themselves. It takes place in Gallagher-Iba arena, and the whole event feels a lot like a gigantic pep rally. Some minor homecoming awards are also announced during the event, so Greek houses and other student organizations turn out in droves to attend.

The Walk: OKState Football

Football’s back! Aaaaand I almost melted at The Walk Saturday. But I got some good photos, so I’m over it.

(for those not in the know, The Walk is a tradition at OSU where the football players, who stay the night in the on-campus Atherton hotel the night before home games, walk through campus from the Atherton to the stadium before the game while fans cheer them on.)

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: OKState vs. Texas A&M

Women’s basketball took on the Aggies tonight and the Cowgirls came out ahead with a final score of 57-53. Here are some of my favorite shots from the game:
