Description


---
Philadelphia "Flight Night" happens every year in August as a treat for the fans and a fund raiser for charity.

Two "teams" of Eagles play a loosely formatted exhibition "game" and everyone has a wonderful time just weeks before the REAL season begins.

I had the privilege of shooting "Flight Night" last year.

This fan wearing Eagles Jersey #58, I'm told, is at EVERY Eagles Home game! Anyone know who wore that Jersey? Apparently nobody of note!

You go girl!!! I love the emotion in this story telling image. And the look on the girl's face in the front row says it all. A truly spectacular capture, Michelle, as always. The B&W takes this over the top. #10692179

This is awesome! Love 58's pose and the girls in the foreground---and your DOF! #10692236

Wonderful capture, Michelle! As for the jersey, seems to belong to Trent Cole, who's from Ohio (played for the University of Cincinnati). Among other honors, he was ranked No. 57 on the NFL's Top 100 Players of 2012 list and the same year got a four-year contract extension worth around $55 million. Not bad for a fifth-round draft pick (in 2005)! #10692296

Beautiful in black and white Michelle. I love the full frame of faces and the way you can see each ones expression so precisely. That is some fantastic shooting. He is one enthusiastic fan and I enjoy his getting into the game with this pose. Some incredible work my friend. #10692788

WOW! Great candid shot, Michelle.
Look at all the different expressions.

I absolutely love you B&W photos Michelle and always look forward to what your next one will be. This one has so much character and the expression on the face of the girl in the front row is priceless.

Michelle, if you converted this to B&W from a color photo I would just love to see what it would look like if you left the fans Jersey in color, just an idea.

Hope you have a great weekend and everyone is well, I go in on the 30th for my 4th spinal surgery, keeping my fingers crossed that it's my last one. #10697762

Awesome Capture Michelle!!!
Cool in B and W :)

tripped on a step and launched myself
came down on my shoulder and upper arm
my right arm is in a sling
and can only use my left hand
for typing and moussing
the camera I can use is my pocket
camera...and the air shows next weekend #10707371
