Take My Picture: TV?
Take My Picture (0)
These kids really wanted me to put them on TV. I used to get the whole "TV" thing a lot when we had the old Nikon gear... not as much with the big, white lenses on our new Canon cameras. I guess if they really want to be on TV they can buy an old WebTV on eBay and then browse through my blog on that.

These girls really wanted their picture taken... so I did. Just another rough day on the job.

Take My Picture: ASS
Take My Picture (1)
Pretty sure this was on purpose... if not, it's a glorious coincidence. This group of students in the stands at the Monticello game tonight really wanted this photo put in the paper. We don't run posed crowd photos... and we probably wouldn't run the word "ASS" in the paper. I knew it would never see the light of day if I turned it in, so I'll publish it here with the cutline I would have used if I had put it in the system.

Take My Picture: Stud Finder
Take My Picture (0)
I completely forgot about this photo until a few days ago... I was walking up and down the parade route while I was shooting the "Mueller Company Razzle Dazzle Goodtimes Parade" (try saying that a few times fast) when a guy asked me if I was out taking pictures of studs. "No," I said with a chuckle. "Well, I'm right here if you want to take my picture," the man said. "Me too!" said the boy... obviously a stud in training. Either he has high self-esteem or I look like I should be wandering the streets of downtown Decatur with the sole purpose of taking ...

Take My Picture: Eisenhower Fans
Take My Picture (0)
These kids would not leave me alone until I took their picture. Unlike some papers that will remain nameless (that might just happen to be our competition), we don't run these kind of photos... so these Eisenhower fans can have their moment of fame here on my blog. And, for the record, I think the other paper's decision to make those galleries is a bit odd. What next? Newspaper galleries of drunk kids cheesing it up for the camera at Unofficial St. Patrick's Day? Oh wait... nevermind. And... ranting done. I feel much better now. Hugs and kisses to unnamed newspaper...

This kid seemed to enjoy the camera... although I don't know many shy high schoolers that dress in Native American attire.

Michigan fan

University of Illinois juniors Mark Bernachea (left), Tom Mark (center) and Tim Watkins, all from Rockford, in the stands before the start of the Illinois game against Michigan Saturday night in Memorial Stadium. "We're going to try to protect him," said Bernachea about his Michigan fan friend. "He's probably not going to make a lot of friends in this section." The group left in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Hey, take my picture
Take My Picture (0)
Every time I go to a game there are people that yell from the stands... "Hey, take my picture!" Most of the time I make a quick frame so that I don't look like the asshole ignoring them. Besides, I do stand in front of them, in the seats that they paid for, for a while so I really don't want to be rude. Usually I'll just forget about their photo, but I'm going to start posting them here... could be fun. Here's the first in the series... from the Illinois game against Michigan last night.
