Notre Dame defeats USC earning berth in BCS title game

November 26, 2012

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.

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.
