A trio of Summit photographers was on hand at Rabobank Arena for the Inaugural Kern County All-star Basketball game held on March 30, 2009. “This is a great opportunity for us to showcase our services to the Bakersfield Jam and scores of Kern County athletes,” Said Principal Photographer Michael Duffy. “Photos of the games and awards ceremonies were posted on our gallery for players, parents and basketball fans to view,” Duffy added. “The Rabobank Arena is a great venue and the All-stars got a chance to play on the same hardwood as some of the greatest NBA and D-League basketball players have plied their skills.”

In conjunction with our 11-year relationship with the Bakersfield Condors, five photos from Summit Photography were auctioned for more than $1,000 on march 10. The rink-wide angle team photo taken at the start of Condor game fetched $400 during the annual Tip A Condor diner held at the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, CA.

Three other posters featuring Summit hockey photos and a future personal photo shoot with one of the players increased the total to $2,250. The chance to be photographed with a player was the top seller finishing at $550.

Proceeds from the auction went to the Kern Co. Shirne Club

Working under a special agreement with MaxPreps, Summit photographer Michael Duffy shot the finals and the awards ceremonies of the California State Wrestling Championships held at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield on March 6 & 7.  This is the second year that Duffy has represented MaxPreps at the wrestling meet.
