Suggestions for photos this weekend
Well this weekend will be my first time on the sideline this season. I'm looking to get some input from te MGoBlog community. First, are there any photos that you guys would like to see? Second, when I post a slideshow, how fast do you lose interest? 10, 20, 30 photos?
I love doing what I do, but really it's for the enjoyment of the people that read the blog. I appreciate all of the comments when I do post a slideshow and you guys have been very supportive. I want to make sure that I'm making it enjoyable for you guys.
Go Blue!!

p.s. I'll be wandering around tailgates this weekend. Send me an e-mail if you want me to stop by and make you famous! I'll try my best to hit up a few tailgates and get some fan photos! ericupchurch44 at g mail dot com.

When air force breaks off a 20 yard run and Campbell is tripped up, zoom in on Brian's pissed off face in Section X, Row X.

Kind of like that GIF with Hopkins' helmeted head on a dog's body inches from cupcakes?
Yes, please.

We have lots of pictures of football players - try to find as many hot girls in the stands as you can.

Don't look in the Air Force section then.

Devin catching passes
Toussaint running down the sideline
Glanda long-snapping

No more than 40 pictures in a slideshow, best in the first 20.

Nothing's gratuitous about them. A Hokepoint photo is to be treasured.

Lots and lots of Laquon Treadwell. Preferably of him committing.

Honest question for Eric:
How often do you go up to hot girls at bars and tell them you're a photographer for a prestgious modeling agency, that you think they'd be a very successful super model because they are so beautiful and that if they came back to your studio (in your apartment) for a photoshoot, you're certain you could get them a real modeling gig. Then when they get back to your place, you convince them to slowly take off their clothing so they'll be able to show the agencies how great their body is. You keep going until you have a bunch of naked pictures of them, and now they feel so comfortable with you that you end the shoot by making passionate yet dirty love.
How often would you say you do that? I don't have the photography equipment to pull it off.

"Don't worry babe, all the big photographers use a Blackberry for their shoots nowadays."

Come on, they'll know you're bogus. You might as well have a Motorola Razor Flip or a disposable Kodak. Even a blonde would be onto your game with a Crackberry.

Well, not too often..It would be awkward with my wife and 3 kids under 4 years old there... :)
September 7th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Well, if your wife ever wanted to mix things up a bit, she could be in on it. The kids...they'd probably have to go to Grandma's.

warmups and after they touch the banner. Some good candid shots of the players -- especially the freshmen -- taking in the experience of preparing to play in the Big House.
Your photos last year were excellent. Looking forward to what you produce this year.

I try my best to get photos of the guys touching the banner, but they have that area locked down. They don't let you get down there. I try though, trust me. I'm 6'4 and about 230. It's tough for me to sneak in there. I guess if I wore a uniform I may be able to blend. :)

I trust your judgement. Obviously you'll take pictures of the game, if you have the equipment and are in the right place. But here are some pictures I'd love to see:
- Recruits in attendance, both football and basketball.
- McGary, Robinson, Burke, Hardaway, Beilein, et. al.
- The inside of the Crisler Center, or even the outside of the new entrances, etc.
- Football Alumni in attendance.
- BWC actually doing the right thing on the field.
- Gardner catching a ball intended for Tacopants.
- The drums in front of Revelli.
- Mattison and Borges and Hoke.
- Mealer's beard, and his brother.
- A mustachioed Taylor Lewan.
- Brian and Mrs. Brian.
- Seth and Mrs. Seth.
- Dave Brandon with Machivellian smile.
- Godson of Oosterbaan.
- Flyover planes & helicopters.
- Airmen parachuting into the Big House?
- Players we never see photos of. (walk ons, seniors who've been passed by who just don't get PT.)
- Denard sitting on the wall with fans after a win, especially if with Lloyd Brady.
- Celebrities? (Jeter, Seger, Kate Upton, Upton's friends.)

When you post the slideshows I watch the whole thing. Your photography is great and seems distinctive from what else is out there.

Seriously, great to hear that. I appreciate it. Thanks! Go Blue!
