Moving into 2012, the picture was released as one of a number of pictures in an undated (late
Apr 2012) Mashpedia article/blog entitled “Soccer.” ******************** I’m rather
ashamed to confess that, until last night, I had actually never been toan expert soccer game in
my life. Baseball, basketball, and tennis: yes, of course. High-school and college soccer games:
sure, thoughthat was a very long time ago. Indeed, the last university soccer game I saw (in
individual) was in the mid-60s, when I was invited to the yearly Harvard-Yale game by a
Radcliffe student I had started dating– a development to which my MIT university roomie
reacted, in shock, by howling, “Radcliffe? You’re dating a Cliffie?
She should be a pig!” After which he pulled out his flute, whenever he thought she could be
present when he returned to our off-campus apartment, and played “Old McDonald Had a
Farm” till he collapsed in galesof laughter on the stairwell. Highly inaccurate, I accelerate to
note, and totally unfair. However I digress … Anyhow, a freelance writer, Mitch Ligon (whose
photo you could see right here in one of my Flickr sets), invited me to accompany him last
evening to the New York Jets – Philadelphia Eagles game out in the New Jersey
Meadowlands– yet another newbie experience. I was provided a photographer’s press pass,
which gave me accessibility to the closet spaces, press box, numerous other “inner sanctum”
locations … and, most vital, the soccer field itself. I was given a red jersey to wear, informed to
remain outside the yellow dashed lines that ring the field, and turned loose for the evening. I felt
somewhat inadequate, because I understood that the “real” professional photographers would
certainly be equipped with high-cameras and monstrous telephoto lenses beyond anything I had
actually ever touched, or could potentially afford; and also though my Nikon D300 and
70-300mm zoom lens is fairly respectable in amateur circles, I had no idea if
I would certainly have the ability to take any type of decent photos at all … The other issue is that
I know little or nothing about the nuances of soccer, beyond the apparent fact that the
quarterback either passes the ball, or hands off to somebody who tries to run the ball downfield.
Punts and field-goal kicks are additionally a familiar principle, however if you don’t have a great
anticipatory sense of who is about to do exactly what to whom, it’s easy to miss the “moment”
when the perfect chance might be offered. Additionally, I didn’t truly understand anything about
the users, aside from the respective star quarterbacks: Philadelphia’s questionable Michael
Vick, and New York’s newly-named beginning quarterback, Mark Sanchez. I had considered
the group lineups on the Internet before the game, so at least I understood their jersey numbers
(# 6 for Sanchez, and # 7 for Vick, as you’ll see in the photos)– however the “action” was often
up until now away (at the other end of the industry) that I could not tell whether the starting
quarterback, or one of the substitutes, was making the plays. Nevertheless, by the start of the
3/4

4. second quarter I was feeling a little more comfortable– if just
due to the fact that I located it easy to follow along behind the other professional photographers
as they marched (or ran) from one end of the field to the other, in order to get their equipment
set up for exactly what they anticipated would be the next wonderful chance. By the end of the
game, I had taken 1,100 + images, consisting of several of Michael Vick in a post-game
locker-room interview; and from the noise of the clickety-click-clack of my fellow photographers,
I can tell that numerous of them had actually taken a number of thousand. I’ll spare you the
technical information of my feeble efforts to obtain some good tries; I had chosen up some great
ideas from the sports-photography chapter of Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography, and I did my
best within the restrictions of my equipment and my shortage of familiarity with the
circumstance. Exactly what thrilled me most about the entire experience was the scale of
modern-day professional football– the scale of everything. It’s something to read that there are
80,000 individuals in a soccer arena; it’s yet another thing to in fact be
there and hear the simultaneous roar of those 80,000 individuals as a quarterback is sacked or
a long pass is completed. It’s one thing to check out that a professional soccer member is 6
feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 350 pounds; it’s another thing to stand next to several dozen
such giants. Heck, I thought there were just 20 or 30 such giants on each group; I had no idea
that there were 64 of them (a number which will certainly be curtailed as the pre-season comes
to an end), or that there may be 20-30 different coaches. Then there are the hundreds of
“personnel members” scurrying around all over the spot, doing their various duties and
assignments; and there are the protection guards and State Police, who spent most of the time
scanning the arena crowd instead of viewing the players, presumably expecting scuffles or
fights or … well, who knows what. There are cheerleaders too, in this case bearing the official
name of New York Jets Journey Staff; I had actually anticipated half a dozen, but there were
two dozen perky, long-haired charms, with permanently frozen smiles, who who danced and
pranced prior to the crowd at every conceivable opportunity. All of this has actually led to the
photos you’ll see in this album. I needed to erase about a hundred of my initial images, due to
the fact that they were out of focus, or because a referee chose to walk in front of my camera at
the incorrect moment; and an additional 900 were “fine,” but not horribly amazing. I’m sure that
none of them are as crisp, sharp, and well-composed as those taken by the Sports Illustrated
photographer and the other specialists on the field; but I did wind up with 72 “caretakers” that I
hope you’ll take pleasure in … … and, yes, I probably will go to yet another football game or two
in the years ahead. Whether I’m fortunate sufficient to get down on the field once more is
anyone’s guess …
