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.

Lucky Guy!!

I’m a lucky guy.  The best tickets in the stadium arrived…my media sideline passes for every 2016 Steelers home game.  I’ll be photographing the games from the sidelines again this season.  I can’t wait.  To top it off, I’ll get a change to photograph my favorite team, the Detroit Lions, as well.  I’ll get the opportunity to photography the Steelers-Lions pre-season practice together along with their first preseason game against each other.  How fun!!
