Shutter Rush

As some of you know, I covered the Steelers’ last game of the season in Baltimore (along with most of their home games).  I can’t believe I’ve been photographing the Steelers from the sidelines for 8 years now.

 

Anyway, I traveled with two other great sports photographers @jasonpohuski and @jakemysliwczykphoto.  We made a weekend out of it…traveled together, photographed many cool spots in the city and covered the game together.  As part of that adventure, we photographed of course, but we also captured much of it via video.  All that was put together by Jason into a feature film called “Shutter Rush – Baltimore Edition”.  Jason even got @underarmour to sponsor this project.  Big thanks to them for all their support and gear.  I don’t know when, but it sounds like this film will be released on Amazon Prime and other major streaming services in the near future.  Once that happens, I’ll give you an update.  In the meantime, we’re actively planning our next trip to have fun and capture photos and video for the next Shutter Rush edition…   More to come.

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.

Special Post Tonight

I usually update this blog about every two or three days and I wasn't planning on a post tonight, since I posted a picture last night.  But I got some fun news today.  HDR One Magazine selected one of my pictures as part of their Top Five HDR pictures on Facebook this week.  Not a very big deal, but I am proud regardless.  

You can read their entire article and see the other four HDR photos at:  http://hdrone.com
