Lying down on the job

Last Friday, I photographed Chelsea’s football game at Adrian, which is why the previous post was full of pictures from that game. What I didn’t know was that as I photographed the team’s entrance onto the field, there was someone photographing me. Well, not me specifically, but I did manage to relax my way into the frame.

I’m there at the bottom of the picture, lying on the ground and yet hard at work at the same time. And while it may look like I’m about to get aerated by roughly 60 pairs of cleats, don’t worry; I was not in any danger. Trust me, I learned my lesson last year after I nearly got trampled one week and then actually got kicked in the head by a cheerleader a week or two later. Yeah, it was pretty amazing.

Anyway, that photo and article link appeared on the front page of Michigan Elite Football‘s website. It should be on the main page for another day or so; after that, I’ll be just another guy lying on the football field. But don’t worry; I saved a screen shot for posterity. (Unfortunately, the photo doesn’t accompany the full article, so posterity is out of luck with that link. Also, there’s no bigger version available, so keep squinting.)

Oh, and here’s one of the shots I got as I lounged on the grass:
