Rise Up! Falcons Advance to NFC Championship

January 15, 2013

To call the Falcons’ 30-28 win Sunday over the Seahawks a nail biter would be a gross understatement. It was the second best football game I’ve seen all season (I don’t think anything could top the BCS Championship!). It wasn’t the prettiest game, but it was good enough to put the Dirty Birds in the NFC Title Game for the first time since 2004. On top of that, it puts future Hall-of-Famer Tony Gonzalez that much closer to getting his first Super Bowl ring. He definitely deserves one.

The only thing that could’ve made it better is if it the game would have been in a beautiful outside stadium instead of in the dull light of the Georgia Dome. Anyways, here are some rectangles from the game.

I cannot believe that 2012 is over! It was wonderful to be a part of, witness, and capture so many cool things. I still have a long way to go in this profession for sure, but I believe I was able to make a couple of decent frames in the past 12 months. My goals for 2013 include trying to learn more from seasoned pros — you know, those folks who seem to produce stellar work on almost a daily basis.

Anyways, below is a selection of what I consider to be my best photos of 2012.
