The 2009 Carolina Panther's warm up during Training Camp
I love Football. I grew up right outside of Washington DC, so when I was brought home for the Hospital, my Mom had me wrapped in a Burgandy and Gold blanket. Needless to say that I love the Redskins, but I also love my hometown team……..The Carolina Panthers. I had a chance to start to shoot the NFL about 4 years ago, and needless to say, I jumped at the chance. It was a nice departure from racing, plus it gave me a chance to spread out into other Sports. The other great thing about it, is the fact that I do not have to travel far to shoot games, just 20 mintues and I am at the stadium. I love it!
This is the first time that I have ever shot a Training Camp, and I felt some frustration while doing it. It seems as if the Panthers Organization is very strict on where they will let photographers go during the actual practice sessions. It became a trick to get any kind of images at all. I felt as if I was missing something, but since this was my first camp, I decided not to push the issue. I am excited about the upcoming Season. There are onle 3 home games that conflict with my racing schedule, and one of the races I think I can shoot on Saturday Night, get back from Richmond and still shoot the Sunday game. Well, here is what I got from camp. Please tale a look and let me know what you think.
Peace, Sam (continue reading…)
