The Day I Saw a 49er Cry
[UPDATE 3] Lem created a pretty cool video with the footage and pictures we took. Download it (14 mb, Quicktime 7 required)
[UPDATE 2] The article on CityTeam’s site, and one of the 49ers website.
[UPDATE] The photos are up on CityTeam’s Flickr album.
What’s that little Filipino guy doing?
Several, actually. One of the benefits of working for a large non-profit is the chance to meet certain celebrities in the local community. Today Lem and I took photos and video of five 49ers players who came to help CityTeam with the daily dinner at the San Jose mission. I wish I followed the 49ers better this season because the only one I recognized was Ken Dorsey (7). Others that lent their time were Shawntae Spencer (36), Bruce Thornton (26), Julian Peterson (98), and Otis Amey (18). As big and intimidating as they were, they, just like you and me, broke down in tears when cutting up an onion. All really nice guys. The poor and homeless who came in for a meal loved getting a chance to chat with them as they passed by to get their food.
I don’t know if I’m allowed to post photos that we took, since they’re property of CityTeam. They’ll be up on the CityTeam website and other news sites soon enough. A similar event is coming up with the San Jose Sharks, and I’m really looking forward to that!
MAN! No fair, wish I was there, course, not sure what I’d be doing. Guess I could help serve food, but I definitely wouldn’t be taking pictures.
Seeing the Sharks up close will be awesome. Hockey players are more impressive-looking than football players because they’re not as chubby.
Can’t wait to see those pictures. With his great unselfishness and compassionate heart, I’m sure T.O. would be there if he were still a 49er.
Is Filipinon like a combination between a Filipino and a Klingon? Just curious…
maybe…Lem does sort of look like one.
I’m not the one who tried learning how to speak Klingon when I was 14.
My, how this has gone a bit off-topic…
Cool photos. So, what were some of the challenges/issues you had to be aware of from a photography standpoint when you guys took these shots?
