Tonight I photographed the Bombers game vs the Wheeling Nailers. I believe this is the 45th time that these teams have met this year. Actually it is their 11th meeting out of 14 total games this year…it just seems that they are always playing each other. Most importantly, the Bombers won the game 3-2.
I was able to shoot the 2nd and 3rd periods from the catwalk above the Hobart Arena. I find that having different shooting spots at sports venues allows my creative juices to flow and also gives a different perspective to the images. Here is a shot of the Bombers Goalie David Shantz. Ordinarily, this is a just an ordinary image of a goalie facemask…
…until you climb up a steep catwalk ladder so that you can look closer on the back of the helmet. You can see a little insignia “Jeremiah 29:11″. This verse reads: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” I found it interesting, because had I photographed David from my regular locations, I would not have seen this verse. Additionally, having spoken to David only once before, it provides additional insight into his personality and belief system.
