Meet a competition submission...

Dios mio, I have watched and listened to and tweaked this thing so much I could probably recite it backwards. But I respectfully submit for your viewing pleasure, my multimedia entry for the 2008 CPOY competition. I'm not sure if I've made this better or worse than the original, but I've fixed the things that bothered me the most and, well, I had to stop editing it eventually. (...for now). Thanks to those who offered any form of feedback and your time in watching.

Yay! We like light.
It makes us happy and bright.

Meet football!

I got my undergraduate degree at Boston University, a school well-known for its hockey team...and not so much for its football team. Mainly because it hasn't existed since 1997. So I grew up in a collegiate world devoid of one of the most basic tenets of the whole college experience: football. Save the time I photographed the Harvard/Yale game in 2004 when I was working for the Harvard News Office, I have neither photographed or even seen live college-level football...until tonight.

For my editing class, I signed up to edit football photos on-site and, as an added bonus, I got to shoot a bit at the start of the game, as there wasn't anything for me to edit yet. Because the game started at 6 p.m., there was a fairly tight turn-around for the first round of photos in contention for the cover. I shot about 15 minutes - probably less - of game action before I rounded up the cards from the other two photographers and hustled to the top of the press box at Faurot Field to edit away. It was a great experience for so many reasons and I'm excited about next week, when I'll be able to go to the game as a fan.

Here are some shots I liked from tonight, the second-to-last (penultimate!) shot being what's running on Sunday's cover. Thanks for looking!

Oh, and the Mizzou Tigers absolutely destroyed the Southeast Missouri State Whatever-Birds: 52-3.
