Stuck at an airport bar for another hour. Ask me anything about national parks, bears, or photographing Michigan football

What was your worst weather experience photographing Michigan football? And how did those photos turn out?

2019 Notre Dame was quite miserable. All the photographers before the game were giving each other very nervous looks. Also when the students threw all their wet towels on the field one landed on my camera and resulted in an amazingly well positioned photo.

Two questions: Are you going to Oklahoma? If so, look for me in the upper deck. Second, do you consider ketchup to be a tomato smoothie?

Yes and will do! I’ll answer the second one with: Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

Dry Tortugas Lassen Volcanic Channel Islands Badlands Glacier Bay This list could change based on day of the week, mood, or sobriety but that was my first hunch

Which national park would be the best location to host a Michigan game that might also have a bear sighting?

If I had to buy 1 decent lens for photographing youth and HS sports of my kids, what would you recomend?

Canon’s 70-200 f/2.8 is great quality (and most high school sports are in very poor lighting so the f/2.8 helps a lot)

How were the mosquitos in Alaska and Yukon? I was just in BC and they were awful - curious if it gets better further north.

Honestly where we were, not too bad (and I’ve been in places where they were BAD)
