Jesus, Other Fans and Behind The Scenes Photos

I was scrolling through photos I’ve taken covering the Pittsburgh Steelers in the last two years.  I’ve been covering them going back to my first game in 2011, but I was just looking at this year and last year.  While I was looking at these, it occurred to me that I don’t share any photos other then an occasional player, a live action shot and sometimes a coach.  But I take a bunch of the fans, who are sometimes more interesting than what’s happening on the field.  I also take a bunch of photos of objects (helmets, footballs, etc..) and other non-players (past players, other photographers, celebrities, etc..) on the sidelines, which normally don’t see the light of day. 

So, I’m going to share some of my favorite photos from the last two years with you today.  Happy New Year and good luck in 2019.

Scroll down to see the rest of the photos or go to the “Sports Fans & Behind The Scenes” gallery on my website.

Ajayi

Here is something a little different for your viewing pleasure.  Normally the football photos I share with you are the full story.  Meaning, I normally share the photos where you can tell what exactly is going on, who is making the play, where they are on the field, etc…   basically the photo can tell the story by itself.  But I also capture lots of photos like this one…. close up shots.  You can’t really tell what’s going on, but the detail can be great as well.  So here is a close up of the Miami Dolphins’ running back Jay Ajayi (#23) as he tries to get away from a Steelers defender.

Dupree Crushing Moore

Bud Dupree had a number of huge hits on Matt Moore last Sunday.  Maybe the extreme cold temperature slowed Moore down.  I’m glad I wasn’t the one getting “smoked” by Dupree
