Football is funny. Photographers both for newspapers and TV gather on sidelines and often we stop and chat about things. A lot of time its to complain about poor assignment planning or horrendous crops to our pictures or not using the best picture at all. Sometimes its more philosophical in nature and sometimes its about gear. During the EUP/Slippery Rock game it seems we ran the gamut. Erie Times photo chief Christ Millette was filling in for Janet Campbell and it was the first time in quite awhile we'd seen each other. We talked a little about our jobs and style of shooting. We talked about capturing moments and timing. I believe it is what I look for more than composition and light - though those do play a big role in my thinking. I didn't really know if I had this frame or not. I wasn't terribly excited by anything I thought I captures. I had one frame of the QB handing off to the runner that was a little different than usual given the way it was layered and the sharpness of QB's eyes. But this was the best of those moments we talk about--it has action, face, ball....and yes it was poorly cropped in the paper the next day. Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer
