Day 129

"Badgers take Flight"

I took this photo at the UW Mens Basketball game versus North Dakota. I noticed there that I seemed to have a better concept of photography than some of the folks with press passes, though some had more expensive lenses. I really enjoyed photographing the game and I might try to find a way to do this more often.

Day 98

"History"

Though I got a little flack from security for bringing my camera to the UW vs OSU game (supposedly I had a tripod, though I told her I didn't, and showed her; additionally, ESPN "doesn't like people with big cameras in the stands", though my camera is about the size of a large point and shoot, with only an 18-55mm lens; and that she was just warning me, to which I told her, I wasn't breaking any posted rules, there were no complaints, most people were interested about my shooting, and that I was not going to be leaving, and she wasn't going to taken my camera), I managed to at least capture an amazing few shots after all was said and done. We had been warned over and over that running on to the field after the game would result in an arrest in accordance with Madison public ordinance, I don't think they had quite the man power needed to take on this number of fans reveling in such an amazing upset.

Day 63

"Brats"

Today I hoped to get a good picture out of the post-football game revelry, and had to wade my way through the drunk people (while politely insulting the rude ones, which is always fun; "someone has had a little too much to drink today, I think"). Heres the one photo I took of some generally well-behaved people at State Street Brats right before the Penn State vs Alabama match-up. Just a nice little shot of Madison after a football game in the fall.
