TCU Horned Frogs Band Members celebrate during the NCAA Football 97th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO between the TCU Horned Frogs and the Wisconsin Badgers at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA.

The Grand-Daddy of them All: The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. I had a great time covering this event along side the other photographers with fantastic teams. The game didn’t go as smooth as I wanted it to have. Just before the fly over and start of the game one of my cameras unexpectedly stopped working. I shot the entire game with just one camera. It was challenging, I haven’t shot a game with just one camera since high school. It made me slow down and think about my lens choice and focus on what I could capture. Here is my best photos from the game.
