So thanks to the wonders of the Herald freelance schedule, I was painfully reminded that I haven’t shot an actual football game in a little under two years!
Needless to say, the rust was pretty apparent in the first half — couldn’t get a passing touchdown worth a damn, constantly out of position to get the shots I really wanted, and all together felt like a pretty mediocre sports photographer. Anyway, got in to a bit of a rhythm in the second half, and overall sucked less than I had the first half. Enjoy!

9.19.2009 — WORCESTER — Harvard running back Gino Gordon leans over the goal line past Holy Cross linebackers Andrew Cialino (48) and lineman Jimmy Thomas (58) in the second half at Fitton Field in Worcester, Mass. on Sept. 19, 2009. Holy Cross won, 27-20.
Kelvin,
If that’s rust I can’t wait till you find the oil can. Nice shots for not covering a game in 2-years. Ken
Thanks, Ken!
I know I’m probably a lot harder on myself than I should be, so hopefully my success-failure ratio improves as I (hopefully) shoot more football this fall.
Kelvin,
Nice shots bro. Can I suggest a tighter crop on the first photo? You could lose a lot of that extra “visual fat.”
Keep it up.
