Momentous Experiences

September 16momentous experiences,lsu football,ronald martin

I am thankful for momentous experiences. I am defining momentous experiences as those experiences that only happen occasionally and when they do are monumental. Sometimes they are the opportunities of a lifetime.

Such an experience happened to me this past Saturday. I've been telling Bebe's cousin, Laura, who has season football tickets with me, that one day I hope to be able to photograph the football players from the sideline at LSU. Unbeknownst to me she registered and won a Taco Bell contest that allowed her and a guest to walk down Victory Hill with the band and stand on the sidelines during warm ups. She invited me to accompany her. Many thanks to Laura and our hostesses Emily and Amanda. It's amazing how BIG those football players are. When I wasn't looking, I took a football to the chest, but I'll have to say, I'm glad it didn't hit my camera, and am glad that one of those guys did not run over me. But, needless to say, I had a ball.

The top photo is of safety Ronald Martin. The top one below is a candid photo of Jake Cliese (13), Rob Bolden (1), Anthony Jennings (10), and Haydon Rettig (11). The bottom photo is of quarterback Zach Mettenberger (8) preparing to throw to receiver Travin Dural (83).

I have posted more photos from the evening in the LSU Football folder on this web page (http://www.zenfolio.com/rttulleyphotography/p96843250/edit).
