September 3, 2011 – LSU and Oregon opened their seasons at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas in the Cowboys Classic. It was a good game with lots of energy (as expected from a matchup of two top 10 teams). LSU took control early in the second half and came away with a 40-27 win.

I shot LSU in the Cotton Bowl earlier in the year, and was asked by one of the mothers of one of the LSU Golden Girls to take some pictures of the girls again during this game, so a lot of the pictures here are of the Golden Girls, but I think I got a couple decent action shots as well. Hope you like them.

August 6, 2011 – FC Barcelona came to Dallas to play against Mexico’s Club America in the Herbalife World Football Challenge. Barcelona was without their star, Lionel Messi, who was given an extended rest by his team after competing in the Copa America for Argentina, but the rest of the big names (Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Thiago, Victor Valdes, Pique, Puyol, etc…) were all there. Barcelona, who had lost 4-1 to Chivas Guadalajara a few days earlier started the game with most of their starters on the field. After halftime there were lots of substitutions, with many of the younger Barcelona players getting a chance to show what they’ve got. Barcelona won the game 2-0 on goals from David Villa in the 1st half and Seydou Keita in the 2nd half (set up by a nice play by Gerard Deulofeu).

Living in the United States you don’t get many chances to shoot the top soccer teams from overseas, and I consider myself very lucky to have gotten a chance to shoot Barcelona and Real Madrid within a three week span.

I hope you like the pictures.

DALLAS COWBOYS v. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

I was lucky enough to get to shoot my first Dallas Cowboys game at the new Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, August 29, 2009. I put on my red NFL vest and made my way to the sideline to shoot my first NFL game. I got there early to get some shots of warmups and the five hours I was down on the field absolutely flew by. The Cowboys lost the game, but it was a great experience.

Hope you like the pictures.

Chelsea FC of the English Premier League participated in the World Football Challenge as part of their preseason training in the United States. After defeating Inter and AC Milan in their first two matches they met the other undefeated team, Club America of Mexico’s first division, in the amazing new Cowboy’s Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The match went scoreless late into the second half, but both teams had chances. Franco Di Santo, a second half substitute, scored the first of Chelsea’s two goals on a cross from Florent Malouda. A couple of minutes later Di Santo assisted Malouda on the second goal. The final score was 2-0 and Chelsea was the winner of the inagural World Football Challenge.
