Columbus Crew Pictures

Photo by Dorn BygI have posted some soccer pictures taken at the most recent Columbus Crew game. Please let me know what you think. Your comments are more than welcome.
This year I have had the privilege of a press pass to Crew Stadium. I have been shooting for a local Columbus newspaper for a couple of years now. Though most my assigned were to shoot OSU sports there was some interest in the Crew after they won the MLS Cup in 2008. That resulted in me getting a pass. Shooting for a paper is great fun and I hope to not only continue doing that but shooting the Crew for a long time.
In the future I would like to try to get my foot in the door so I can shoot for some wire services. It seems to be difficult task. I have gathered that not only do you have to be a tremendous photographer but you have to know who, where and how in a perfect combination. "Who" is never clearly defined, "where" is easier to know but hard to get to and "how" is just a matter of practice and time. When mixed all together and applied to what is what is expected from you (the photographer) it makes for a hard target to hit. It will be some work but it's work that I am willing and capable of doing. I'll keep you posed as things progress.

Interesting and informative. But will you write about this one more?
I always enjoy the crew games! Looking through your photos always allow me to watch the games again, they have such a high quality touch to them. Kudos!
Thanks for the feedback! Yes. I will be posting and writing more about ALL the sports that I shoot. I will make it to all the Crew game I can and share all that I can. Though I feel I am a much better photographer than a writer I will do my best to keep the quality and quantity high.
Love all the shots but especially the header because that was such a big part of that game. I also particularly like how personal the shot of Hejduk drinking from the cup felt.
