Austin fans watch World Cup final

July 11, 2010

You win some, you lose some. Such is the case with soccer and photography. Today my main assignment was to shoot local reaction to the World Cup from one of the local bars. Since neither team had scored, I positioned myself where the light was best in the pub and shot the Dutch fans who happened to be in front of me (the bar I was at was about 80 percent Dutch fans). With the game tied at 0-0 at the end of the first 90 minutes, I was essentially guessing that the Netherlands would win. I was wrong. I got a great Dutch celebration shot (see the last shot), but since they didn’t win the image is irrelevant. Luckily, I was able to cover the flip side of the coin with a Spanish celebration shot:
