Motor City Bowl, Central Michigan vs Florida Atlantic. Taken by Andrew Weber. December 2008. Digital Photograph
This week I was trying to find an artist that tries to focus on athletes outside of the game as well as inside the game. I came across a blog from Andrew Weber, where he documented how he shot a football game. There was photographs of the actual game taking place, and also photographs of the athletes outside of the game. These photographs were interesting to me, and they are exactly what I have been looking for.

The thing that I learned from Weber, was that he gets the good shots because he is constantly moving around. He does not stay in the one spot. I went and shot a basketball game last week, and I made the mistake of staying in the one spot. I need to move around to get different angles, and different scenes to capture diversity and interesting photographs. Weber talked about how he was leaving the media room, and how he saw the athletes walking back up the tunnel to get ready for the big game. So he whipped his camera out and got some shots. Something simple and easy to do.
