Page 8 by Wade may be the greatest set of pictures ever taken at a game. Overall great work by Andy and Wade.
I saw her walking into a field level entrance from near the stadium club area as we were walking in, we were wondering what the hell such a scantily clad girl was doin walking into the stadium, my first thought was mexican tv, looks like it was right.
Well, here's to hoping that there is no Mrs. Wade Jackson to bust his ass over that photo. Andy, I know that it says "prints are not available", but any thought of someone paypaling you a tenner for a hi-res image that you could e-mail to them to get printed locally, with a YCJ credit in the corner but sans watermarks, etc? Just a thought. Or is it a rights issue that you are not allowed to distribute them? There are some great photos in there, and it would be cool to frame a few (nerdy though that may be).
There's no "philosophy" involved. All things being equal, I would should "generic game coverage". But things aren't equal. I carry a bag to games with well north of $15k in electronics and optics. And it's all mechanical - meaning it all eventually breaks. At a certain point, the bottom line becomes the driving force. If we at YCJ wasted the time making sure we got every player from every team. We'd end up running out of money and end up taking no shots of anyone. It's not a "philosophy" - It's business.
That's my favorite shot. Great job by both Andy and Wade. FWIW, people should understand that Andy was also shooting for Wire Image on Saturday, a major international photo agency. The Magpie
