A good football game in the WAC

I was assigned to shoot the Idaho Vandals at the San Jose State Spartans on October 10th. US Presswire wanted me to shoot Nathan Enderle, Idaho’s quarterback (pictured above). This turned out to be a great game with several lead changes and the it wasn’t decided until late in the fourth quarter. It was also a good opportunity to shoot some stock of players that don’t usually get as much exposure as other BCS conference teams. One of the things I recall was the the light really died off quickly from late afternoon to night and Spartan Stadium is a pretty dark place to shoot at night. The sidelines were pretty tight space-wise behind the benches and I was prevented from moving behind SJSU’s bench by the security guards. I had to walk all the way around, behind the much friendlier Idaho bench to get from one end zone to the other. I was also asked four different times for my credentials while on the field, despite that it was hanging around my neck for the world to see. The field security was pretty odd, but everyone was super nice including the SID staff up in the press box. Idaho won the game 29-25.
