Pre Post Photography

Of late I have been concentrating on the technical aspects of photography, but I know in the back of my mind that whatever is worthwhile doing involves creating spirit and soul. In other words, you must have the contents of a great shot before you can record the details of it. Obviously, this is a truism. But I posit this simply because some times the contents of a great shot is captured with details that are not technically good or aesthetically captivating.

Such was the case when I attended the Championship AFC game in Foxboro, MA on January 22, 2017. The weather conditions were terrible (wind driven mist in the mid-30s) but I persisted to capture the emotions of the moment.

The two shot here posted are the pre-game (notice the different ways players/coaches deal with this anticipation) and the post game emotions of relief and thankfulness of a successful victory.
