Steelers' Terrible Loss

I hope you had a better weekend than the Steelers.  Here are some photos from their terrible loss in Buffalo (October 9, 2022 - Highmark Stadium).

Steelers at Bengals 2022

Sorry it took me so long to get these posted.  It’s been a busy work week, and this had to wait until tonight.

 

Anyway, here are some photos from last Sunday’s game in Cincinnati.

Two Sides of Joe Haden

I didn’t go to the Steelers vs. Titans game today.  I’ve been dealing with a cold for two weeks, so I skipped it.  It didn’t seem like a smart idea to sit outside for 6 hours in the near freezing temperature while I’m fighting this small illness.  I’ve made good use of the extra time and have been editing NFL photos much of the day. 

Here is an unusual edit from a photo I took of Joe Haden during the Steelers-Bears game about a month ago. 

Steelers at Vikings

Last week I had a very busy couple of days.  I traveled to Minnesota to photograph the Steelers/Vikings game on Thursday Night Football.  Then very early Friday morning, I traveled from there to California to photograph the Bagger Racing League event at the Sonoma Raceway.  The Bagger Mayhem Racing team invited me to be a part of their race team for the weekend.  Along with Jake, I photographed the practice sessions, the races, behind the scenes (garage, pits, etc..) and ran their social media for the weekend.  I’ll have a bunch of these photos for you later.  Then I traveled back on Sunday…. Needless to say, I was tired when I got home.   

 

Tonight, I have a bunch of Steelers/Vikings photos for you. 

Freiermuth's Drop

It has been a crazy busy month.  I haven’t been posting routinely…frankly, I haven’t even thought about positing.  Sorry about that, I’ve just been running hard with work activities.

Anyway, a week ago I went to Minnesota to cover the Steelers at Vikings game on Thursday Night Football.  That was my first time at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.  I must say it is an amazing facility.  I was very impressed. 

I’ll post more photos from this game later, but for now here is the very last play of the game.  With time running out, the Steelers threw the pass into the End Zone to Tight End Pat Freiermuth.  If he had made the catch; the Steelers would have tied the game and they would have gone into Overtime.  But he was hit by three defenders at the same time and the football popped out of his hands.  This is the conclusion of that play, and you can see the ball slipping away from him.  I’m sure that was heartbreaking for him.     

Steelers vs Ravens

Pics from tonight’s game.

More Detroit Lions

One day after the terrible game between the Steelers and Lions, I have some more photos for you.  These are focused on my Detroit Lions. 

Steelers vs Lions

Here are a few photos from today’s game. (Heinz Field – November 14, 2021).  It was a cold, wet, and ugly game.  Neither team desired to win and neither one of them did.

Enjoyment

Frank Hyatt and I during Monday Night Football (Steelers vs. Bears) earlier this week. I don’t remember what was so funny at the time, but clearly I had a good time. Frank is a wonderful person and fun to be around. I’m very lucky to have so many great photography friends. People like Jason, Jake, Brian, Frank, Ed, Dave, Brad, etc…

Professional Sports Photographers on the NFL Sideline

When I think back over the last decade, I’ve been helped, coached, and mentored by many great photographers.  Like any group of individuals, not everyone is helpful or at times even nice…but most are and I’m thankful to all of them.

You see the games and often see our work, but you often don’t see us on the sidelines.  I’d like to share some photos of these professionals who bring you the great images you see in newspapers, magazines, websites and on social media channels.

The photos are from yesterday’s Steelers vs. Broncos game (October 10, 2021) at Heinz Field.  As you see, we have some fun while we’re capturing photos for the media, teams, players, wire services, and the fans.

By the way, I often get asked what camera gear I use. In the end, it doesn’t really matter. For example, this group of photographers use Sony, Nikon Canon, Fijifilm, GoPros, DJi Pocket Osmos, iPhones, etc…. Basically what ever works!! 

These photos were taken by us (Jason Pohuski, Jake Mysliwczyk, Mark Alberti, Ed Thompson, Brian Cook and me) of each other.

Buggs

Isaiah Buggs is a defensive end for the Steelers after being drafted by them in 2019.  Prior to joining the Steelers, he attended and played football at the University of Alabama.  The first photo is from Buffalo on September 12th.  The second photo is from last Sunday (September 19th) at Heinz Field when the Steelers were hosting the Raiders.
