Essay #49: On Wisconsin

Last weekend the Badgers trounced the Michigan Wolverines, and I had the pleasure of seeing it first-hand.










Live sporting events are so much more engaging than televised ones: the crowd, the cold, narrow bleachers, the announcers, the concessions, the big-screen marriage proposals. Plus, it allows for sports photography, the genre that first hooked me on this hobby. I first fell in love with a camera's power to capture motion and energy, freezing a moment in time, while on the sidelines of a college football game taking pictures for the student newspaper. It's amazing how a still image can contain so much motion.
