Notre Dame comes from behind to beat BYU

October 20, 2012

I tried to mix things up a bit at today’s Notre Dame game. For the first ten minutes of the first quarter, I shot the action from the photo deck (the top of the press box). I always like a good overhead shot because it usually cleans up the backgrounds and offers a different perspective. It was a decent game for action, and the Irish came back for the win to stay perfect at 7-0 on the season. Next week I will be flying down to Oklahoma to photograph Notre Dame’s matchup with the Sooners.

James,
Thanks for taking such great pictures and including the band! My second son to attend ND is on the drumline and since I am in Minneapolis I only get out for one game a year to see him perform. I live vicariously through all the photos I see online of the band. Thanks for all you do.
