Seeing the Hall of Fame Dallas Cowboys last night at the Farewell game at Texas Stadium and seeing Tony Dorsett got me to reminiscing about a photo shoot I did a few years ago.
I got to photograph Mr. Dorsett for a national advertisement for a drink that he endorsed. It was so much fun meeting him, and we had about 45 minutes after he filmed his TV commercial to take some stills for the ad. Then I asked him to put the drink down and let me take a couple of him without the drink in his hand. It was so much fun and we even got some shots of us on the Star on the 50 yard line too. He was/is a great guy and never complained about anything.
(and I shot it with my big Medium Format Bronica GS1 and tripod. That weighed a ton!)
After the shoot, as I was leaving, I found myself in the locker room! It was fun to look around, but I couldn't find Troy Aikmans locker anywhere! But I found Chad Hennings and some others. Then a security guard came in and before I knew it, he took a few photos of me standing in Hennings locker. He could tell I was a fan and he didnt mind at all. Ill miss that stadium. Heres a link to some of the photos of last nights Farewell Ceremony. http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/photos?gameId=281220006 (Oh and I've met Bob Lilly before too! He was a neighbor of my Uncle Toms in Graham for years.)
