RUNNING WITH THE DOLPHINS

A winless regular season start for the Miami Dolphins finally turned as they defeated the Buffalo Bills, 38-10 at Land Shark Stadium. My photography coverage included images of Ronnie Brown carrying the ball 20 times to lead a stout Dolphins rushing attack with 115 yards and two touchdowns. Ricky Williams carried the ball 16 times for 85 yards and a touchdown while wearing the Breast Cancer Awareness pink gloves to bring more color to his game. Its the Jets Monday night at home, then I will travel to New York City and again cover the Jets/Dolphins rivalry at Giant Stadium in the Meadowlands. I love shooting football in the fall in the north, perfect temperatures.

PANTHER GOLD

The Florida Panthers season started in Sweden this month but moments before they got on the plane to cross the Atlantic I had a portrait session with the goalies Scott Clemmensen and Thomas Vokoun at the Bank Atlantic Center. Part of the joy of this assignment was watching my friend attorney/ 'photo assistant of the day', Paul Valmert; he plays amateur hockey four days a week and buys season tickets to the Panthers' games, he had a chance to have some one-on-one time with these guys. Very little time, the team allowed five minutes for the portrait session. All I needed was three minutes.
