Tunnel of red

"Defensive end Stephen Bowen #72 of the Washington Redskins takes the field before playing the San Francisco 49ers at FedEx Field on November 6, 2011 in Landover, Maryland. The San Francisco 49ers won, 19-11."

One of the best things about covering the Washington Redskins is that they are very lenient about photographers shooting pictures in the team tunnels.

I'm all about making pictures that have never been made before and that are different from game action. So when I get the chance to roam behind the scenes, so to speak, I work it for everything it's worth.

The funny thing is, last time I was down at FedEx Field, I made some nice pictures against the red wall that is the Washington Redskins tunnel. Not sure if it was coincidence or me just wanting to give friends a hard time, but every time I walked by, someone was camped on the red wall.

They all inspired me, so I had to try and one-up myself from the last game, too. Not sure if I like this better than my referee photo (read: I don't) but it still showcased some nice light and color.
