Notre Dame defeats USC earning berth in BCS title game

I had the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles this weekend to photograph Notre Dame’s win against USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It was an interesting night for me working and transmitting in the stadium. The game started after 8 p.m. EDT meaning I had to submit at the half and immediately after the game to hit our paper’s midnight deadline. Unfortunately for me the stadium’s media WiFi was slower than most 56k connections and my 3G air card was jammed as cell reception in the stadium was terrible meaning I could only send back a handful of shots to our sports guys. It was one of those nights where nothing seemed to be going right – at least for me. Luckily, I was able to send about 25 shots back before deadline.
