Remote Frenzy!

I’ve been really in a remote mood. I definitely love the fact it gets an angle that isn’t generally achieved. It’s not the “standard shot.” Either that or I’ll get absolutely sick of it soon. Good thing much of the indoor season is over, which means I’ll be looking for ways to get more focal length (for cough-cough baseball – sometimes 200mm just doesn’t cut it.)

Otherwise, enjoy the Illinois gymnastics with women’s basketball (at the B1G Tournament).

2011 Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl/San Francisco trip

Well, now that images from the Bowl Game have been printed and that I have some time to update everything, here is a short post of my (subjectively) top images from this trip. Captions all should have dates; I would definitely not be able to do all of this in one day in San Francisco. I also posted my few memorable, top images from the Bowl Game itself. Illinois defeated UCLA 20-14 (Game in one sentence: UCLA scored two touchdowns to draw first blood, but Illinois answered with 20 unanswered points.)

If you would like to purchase prints from anything that is not from the football game, email me at daryl.quitalig@gmail.com.
