Dinosaur in downtown South Bend

October 24, 2012

On Monday I photographed a dinosaur mascot in the County-City Building in downtown South Bend. It made for a few interesting juxtapositions and even more weird looks from passersby.

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.
