Happy Thanksgiving (Football Style)!!!!

This past Thursday was of course Thanksgiving for our friends to the south, and those who just love football.


If you have never been it is worth the trip sometime. Until you have the chance to get there, let me take you on my Thanksgiving Football Photo Tour.

1) When you arrive at the stadium you are greeted with a very nice panoramic opportunity:

2) Fans from every walk of life, some were Lions fans:
3) Some were Packers fans (BOOOOO!!!!):
4) Some were just....well Turkeys!
5) Now not everyone is going to have front row seats......but this is what warmups look like from the front row:
6) Of course there are downsides to front row seats..... Your future wife is VERY close to all the football players:
7) What would a game be without Cousin Amy taking pictures of former Notre Dame players?:
8) And cute kids getting footballs from the players (I was not one that got a ball btw):
9) I didn't get a ball handed to me but I did get camera envy:
10) One weird side note about the NFL is that NFL Films still shoots in FILM!!!:



11, 12, 13, & 14) Film and camera envy aside I did manage to get some cool shots from the front row:



15) This is the look you get from Cousin Scott after showing him YOUR pictures (he was bragging about a couple of shots he got):
16) After a long day of football and pictures nothing is better than a Pepsi?:

The SHOT!!!

I just got home from the Laurier Women's hockey game (that's right I am blogging at 10:30 at night).  The #3 ranked Golden Hawks hosted the #5 ranked Golden Gales in what turned out to be a one sided affair.

All the rankings aside, this game marked a HUGE moment for my photography.... in only my third trip out with the Net Camera I captured what I am considering the marque shot.  It has it all:
  • The Goalie
  • The Puck
  • The Faces (and not just faces but EMOTION on the faces)


I hope you enjoy The SHOT!!!

Simply Maria!!!

A while back I posted a photomerge of Roy Halladay on facebook (Roy Halladay) .I enjoyed creating that image so much that I decided to do another.  The decision to do another photomerge was an easy one, the hard part was picking what do do the merge of.  Then it hit me, what would be better than 4 Roy Halladays??  4 Maria Sharapovas!!.  So here it is, simple titled "Maria:


I hope you enjoy.
