Georgia Beats GA Tech

Georgia defensive end Justin Houston (42) and Georgia tight end Aron White (81) celebrate in the stands with the Redcoat Band as the Georgia Bulldogs beat the #7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 30-24 at Bobby Dodd Stadium on Saturday, November 28, 2009 in Atlanta, Ga.

Sometimes when we feel the worst, we somehow make the best pictures.

Georgia beat Georgia Tech. (Allegedly its a rivalry similar to Yankees-Red Sox). There was a pregame scrum. There was a postgame scrum. There were emotional pictures galore before and after the game.

And at the end of my college football season, I scaled a ladder and got my favorite jube picture of the year. Pulled off an interception picture that I'm not likely to ever repeat again in my career.

Perfection in the blink of an eye.

I photographed the most college football games (10) that I've done in a single season thus far. 4 states, 3 losses and 25,000 images.
