Bulldogs Bucked by Broncos

A few weeks ago I shot the Georgia Bulldog’s season opener against Boise State at the Georgia Dome. The Dawgs had a ruff game and my performance seemed to match theirs. The Dome is a beautiful arena, but a dark place during night games.

Despite the roughness on the field and behind my lens, I made a few friends I was happy with. It’s been a while since I’ve stained the knees of my paints with sideline paint and grass stains but it felt good to be back.
