Photos by Scott Bales and Andy Mead are now online. Wade Jackson's will be added later. http://www.ibiblio.org/footy/2004/1114_kc_dc_ycj.php
OK, every MLS potographer now apparently know where to go to get an emotional/passionate fan reaction:
Someone want to give Andy some rep? I'm fresh out right now. And for those of you who don't know, Andy is a Wizards fan, and has been since the league started. It must've been hard as hell for him to come down behind goal and take pictures of us celebrating when he was in agony. He deserves major major kudos for doing that. If I was on the field and the situation had been reversed, I don't think I would've been able to take shots of KC fans celebrating.
This is not the first time I've been amazed by the excellence of your photos. I guess being a big fan you know when and where to point the eye. Do you ever sell some of the photos, and to whom?
Boy, there's some really great pictures from the final.... Andy, if you ever put out a DC United Book of photos... i'm sure they wouldn't gather dust in a bookstore.... at least not in DC.
I'm pretty sure the nasty letters I got from Getty Images and WireImage's lawyers for commercial usage of MLS photography would make for much hilarity, too.
I'd be willing to send you the money to buy a REEEAAALLLLYYY expensive DVD blank on which you could give me the images free of charge.
