2012 FAMU Fan Day pictures




I went to Fan Day at FAMU yesterday to support the football team and shoot some more b-roll for this historical documentary.  I also shot some amazing photos... This photo shows wide receiver Lenworth Lennon and Cornerback Terry Johnson.







The Show Must Go On in this photo with starting quarterback Damien Fleming.  The sophomore says he will continue to strive to become a better leader on and off of the field.

Fleming led the FAMU Rattlers back from a 33-17 deficit to beat the Southern Jaguars 38-33 in the Atlanta Classic last year.





Head Coach Joe Taylor signs a couple of autographs while speaking to fans at FAMU Fan Day.

Taylor says the show must go on and it will go on.  He says he wants the team to focus on the game and not the fact that the band will not be present.





Senior running back Eddie "The Rocket" Rocker takes a minute to pose in a picture with a child at Fan Day Saturday.

Rocker says the senior leadership will be better this year and has high expectations for the Rattler offense.

Rocker believes he will be able to contribute more to the offense in 2012.





Sophomore quarterback Damien Fleming and senior running back Eddie "The Rocker" Rocker shake hands inside of the Al Lawson Center at FAMU Fan Day.

The offense will rely heavily on these two Rattlers  this year.





Pooh gets picked up by Robert Hartley, an offensive tackle for the FAMU Rattlers.

Pooh says the offensive lineman arms started to tremble while she was in the air.

2nd Trailer is done

I finished up the 2nd trailer for the doc yesterday and I already have 57 views on Facebook.  This documentary is very touching and sensitive.

Today I interviewed the FAMU football team and asked them about the upcoming season with out the Marching 100.  Some felt like they will be missed, some felt like the are the reason the fans come out.

I took multiple pictures and shot a lot of interviews and now the documentary seems to be taking flight in a way that I never imagined.  AKC and I realized that this documentary will be as good as we want it to be.  I realize that this will be the first time in the history of collegiate athletics that a documentary is being produced in less than a year of the incident.

Mrs. Pooh and I also took a trip to the patch and I found some interesting elements of the scenery that may make us conduct all our interviews there.  The field felt weird seeing and walking on it without seeing any members of the Marching 100.

Tomorrow we will continue conducting interviews.  Because the show must go on...
