Cheyenne South loses home opener 63-0
For the second week in a row, I was assigned to shoot the Cheyenne South football game. This week’s result was more or less the same result: a blowout loss to a much larger and more experienced team. Before tonight’s game – South’s first-ever home varsity football game – I was allowed in the locker room to photograph the coach’s pre-game speech. It was the first time I’ve ever photographed a pre-game speech inside a locker room, and it was a good one by coach Tracy Pugh. Sadly, the team wasn’t able to put any points on the board tonight.
Wyoming media day portraits
About a month ago I did a series of portraits at the University of Wyoming’s football media day. The photos are for our Wyoming football tab that hit newsstands today. Shooting portraits at media day can be extremely hit or miss because the players are being pulled a hundred different ways to do interviews. Luckily, I had three friends who helped corral the players for me. I ended up setting up a little studio at one end of the stadium away from the action so I wouldn’t have random people walking into my backgrounds. I shot all the players using a three-light setup with no modifiers to give the football players a very harsh, tough look. This is something I’ve done this fall for all of the football portraits I’ve shot.
Cheyenne South loses 62-0 in first Class 4A game
Friday I drove up to Casper, Wyo. to shoot a game between Cheyenne’s South High School and Natrona County. South was making its debut in Class 4A, and Natrona County was coming off a Class 4A state title last season. As you can imagine, it wasn’t pretty. South is a relatively new high school, housing only grades nine through 11 at the moment. With no seniors, the South squad was physically outmatched by the much larger Natrona County players. Natrona County won 62-0 with a running clock in the second half.
