Fans
Today's self assignment was something to kill the time at the BYU/Air Force football game. I'm not a huge sports fan, ironically having photographed major sporting events in my career as a photojournalist, I never quite 'caught on' to being a sports fanatic.
To make the event more interesting for me I decided I wanted to photograph 'face painters' at the game. So I wandered around the stadium for most of the first half meeting people and making their photographs. I originally just intended to shoot those who had painted thier faces, but it spilled over a little to include some plain ol' 'characters'. I also couldn't resist and took one shot of some uber-trendy poser rich-girl 'wannabees' both sporting fake Chanel handbags.
I also am enjoying taking the idea of the high-res panorama to new levels. I am using a 39 megapixel Hasselblad camera that makes a 235mb file from their RAW format.
I stitched together 6 of them for the shot of the stadium, and my ultra-gnarly panorama software did a fairly good job of matching everything up.
Enough of the yakkity-yak, let's get to the images:

Fun. I feel like I was there even though I was in the studio!

I like your pictures. Esp the one of the girls with the handbags . . . I think there's some good cultural insight behind that photo.
