Oh how I love my job!

So last night I had to work the Indians game. I was shooting game up until the 8th inning when I had to go set up in the Upper Deck to shoot the fireworks show they were having. The game is then tied and looking to go into extra innings. My boss texts me saying "change of plans, shoot the game!" So I call him and he gives me instructions on what he needs etc. So basically I race to the elevator, go to the main concourse and grab the camera. Then I race down to the camera pit on the third base side. Meanwhile I am sweating and freaking out that I am going to miss everything. I have a back bag, one of the those huge 400mm cameras with the mono pod attached, my own camera around my neck and then also a mounting bracket. I was surprised I didn't drop anything let alone fall on my face down the stairs.

Next I set up and am waiting. Luckily we headed into 11 innings so I was lucky. My boss texts me "watch for a walk off home run and watch the plate." Next thing I know Luis Valbuena hits a solo shot to right field and sure enough all the guys are surrounding the plate! Click click click. I just held the trigger down to it was all over!

Then I had to shoot fireworks and get back up to my bosses office to get him the photos. He opens them and goes "THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE MONEY SHOT RIGHT THERE! THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED!"

He sent my photo to all the top people in the front office and they may be blowing it up huge to replace an old in the clubhouse! The tribe writer has a MLB blog and here is what he wrote!

Also if you go to the Terrace Club on the main concourse where the elevator is, another of my photos is blown up on the wall. It's a stadium overview at night!

Really...I do love my job!
