Notre Dame defeats Purdue 20-17

September 9, 2012

I photographed my first-ever Notre Dame home football game on Saturday. I’ve heard that it’s quite an experience and it lived up to it. Not since I shot Indiana basketball in college have I seen such tradition and pageantry on display. I have to admit I was a bit rusty on the action this first game as I haven’t shot much sports lately. However, I think I’ll get back in the swing of things starting next Saturday at Michigan State. Stay tuned and thanks for looking.
