Concacaf Gold Cup Semi Finals

Clint Dempsey and teammates celebrate his goal

June 28, 2011 – I had the pleasure of shooting the Concacaf Gold Cup semi finals at Reliant Stadium in Houston.  I had shot the Mexican national team a few  times before, but had never had the opportunity to shoot the US national team.  I have been a fan of the US team for years, and I must say that it was very cool to get a chance to shoot their game.  It was a sellout, but the stadium wasn’t full during the US game, but once the Mexico/Honduras game started the place was crazy.  The US beat Panama 1-0 in the first game and then Mexico beat Honduras 2-0 to set up the dream matchup of the US v. Mexico in the final at the Rose Bowl.

 


Manchester United v. MLS All-Stars

I shot the MLS All-Star game at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX on July 28, 2010.  It was an absolute thrill to shoot the likes of Ryan Giggs and Sir Alex Ferguson.  Here are some of my favorite shots.

Houston Dynamo v. LA Galaxy

October 18, 2009 – Being a Manchester United fan from back in the 80s when I lived in England I took a trip down to Houston to shoot former Manchester United captain David Beckham in a match-up of the top two teams in the MLS Western Conference.  It was David Beckham’s first time to play in Houston, so there were lots of photographers, and it was hard to get a good spot to take pictures.  The game was a hard fought match that ended in a 0-0 tie.
