If you haven't checked out ESPN the Magazine with me on the cover you need to pick it up. That was the longest photo shoot I have ever done, but it was a great experience. Even though we went for about 4 or 5 hours I really had a great time.
This was my first major shoot where they had makeup, wardrobe and food. The food was good. The ones I have done before are a lot shorter and the SID puts a time limit on it. For this one, the way I looked at it was that this was my job for that day so I was going to work hard. I had to fly to LA to do it because the photographer has young kids and doesn't travel. She was a great photographer. We shot it at on the football field at Long Beach City College. She had me do a lot of different things. I did some jumping around and they even had me jumping around barefooted. That surprised me because football players wear shoes.
I did have to wear makeup, but they only put it on me at the beginning to keep my head from looking shiny. I'm glad for that because I am not a big fan of makeup. They told me it was a little colder than normal for LA and the longer we were there the colder that breeze got. They kept spraying me down with water so by the time we left at 7 I was pretty cold. Then I actually got to see the magazine and all the great pictures. It was well worth it.
