I took this photo post game at Heinz Field in 2019. It was nice capturing Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin and Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson chatting with each other. You could tell there was mutual respect between them.
1933
Something different for you tonight. I’ve been on a roll of posting dark photos lately. Anyway, here is a Mike Tomlin photo for you from last season. It was the NFL’s 150th anniversary last year, therefore they had all teams wear gear with the year they were created….. For the Pittsburgh Steelers it’s 1933.

Tomlin
I’ll keep the football theme going for the 3rd straight day. Here is a photo of the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin from November. I captured this during pregame from the field as Mike walked around talking to his players.

Tomlin and Wilson
Here is a post-game photo of Mike Tomlin and Russell Wilson as they discussed the game and wished each other well….. Sometimes I like these types of photos more then the action photo. I like the human element of it.
Tomlin
Happy Thursday!! I hope you had a great day. I’m ready for Friday and the start of the weekend. I have some chores to do. Otherwise, my only “to do” this weekend is to photograph the Steelers game against the Chargers on Sunday night. So until then, here is a photo I took of Mike Tomlin earlier this year.

Tomlin
There are some coaches that are just intimidating based on how they look at people. Mike Tomlin is one of those guys. He just has “the look”. Now I must say, he is very nice and engaging person, but I don’t want “the look” aimed at me.
Note: I took this photo last week during the Steelers vs. Titans game.

Tomlin
The interesting thing about Tomlin is that most Steelers’ fans want him fired. I don’t get it. I’m not a Steelers’ fan, so maybe I don’t understand. But all he’s done has win, win, and win some more. Heck, he’s won a super bowl! As a Lions fan, I’d take those results. Anyway, I don’t understand, but I have a guess. I’m not going to get into that on this blog. We can save that a face-to-face discussion.

Intensity
I love photographing Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin. His intensity, joy, sadness, and every other emotion are always displayed right on his face. You’ll always know what he is thinking just by looking at him.

2014-2015 NFL - My Favorite Photos Of The Year
Well, my football season is done in more ways than one. The Detroit Lions lost their playoff game….which is typical. They succeed in finding ways to lose. And since the Pittsburgh Steelers lost, my photography season is done as well.
So I thought I’d do a quick recap and share some of my favorite photos from the season. Here are the games I photographed:
Cleveland Browns – Sept. 7th
Houston Texans – Oct. 20th
Indianapolis Colts – Oct. 26th
New Orleans Saints – Nov. 30th
Kansas City Chiefs – Dec. 21st
Cincinnati Bengals – Dec. 28th
Baltimore Ravens – Jan. 3rd
In the previous season, it seemed like we had all kinds of bad weather. So before the 2014-2015 season started, I purchased some good camera rain covers. That must have worked, because we were very lucky this season. The weather was perfect (or better then you could expect) for every game. I put the rain covers on a few times, but that was more for precautions.
Favorite interactions of the season. Without getting into the details, I had some good interactions/conversations with Brett Keisel, Antonio Brown and Adam Vinatieri.
And finally, here is a link (the picture of Mike Tomlin below is the link) to some of my favorite photos from the season…. Now before you click the photo below to see the gallery, here are a few things to remember:
1. I like too many of them, so reducing the list down to something reasonable didn’t happen. My goal was to select 5 or fewer photos from each game…. I totally failed and couldn’t narrow them down to my goal.
2. I picked pictures that included more then just live action game shots. For example, I picked some photos of the crowd, reporters, and other non-football players…. Sometimes because there was a story behind the photo. Sometimes because I think the activities going on around the game are as interesting as the game.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos. Until next season…..when I hope the Lions learn how to win games against good teams……
