The Best of 2009: Football
I am going to start off with my best of 2009 with a collection of football photos. In 2009 I worked really hard to develop relationships with the coaches, staff and players of the schools that I cover on a regular basis. I shot essays on players that overcame disabilities to play. I showed coaches the respect they deserve by asking first for permission (you know who you are DP shooters) to enter the locker rooms before games. I worked the sidelines during the games for off the field moments. When teams took the field, I took the field along with them. I showed up early for practice and stayed late after games. And while none of the teams I covered made the playoffs I still put in a lot of effort and am looking forward to next season.
The Best of 2009, in photos of course
For the next couple of days, I will be posting my best of galleries. Each day I will post a collection of photos that I enjoyed making in 2009. They won’t be in any particular order and I may or may not have explanations of each photos. Stay tuned for more.
