why not?

There will be real fans, there will be "super" fans, there will sometimes feel like there are no fans.


When you feel like there aren't any fans, do a Facebook search of "MUSH" or simply type #MUSH into the search bar on Twitter.

FACT: THERE ARE ALWAYS FANS.

Remember, when the world feels like it's falling down on you, maybe it's just God lifting you up.

Please, NEVER feel like there aren't fans.

You have more fans than you even know! I've had complete strangers tell me how lucky I am to be able to work with such a great group of guys.

Forget what people say, and forget what people post. Do your job, and focus on this.

A great quote from a video Chad Phillips once posted is "Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what you have here tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. Tonight, we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. You were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done; it's over. This is YOUR time, now go out there and take it."

Go get 'em, boys.


WE BELIEVE.

"Some men see things as they were and say 'why?' I see things that never were and say 'why not?'"

WE BELIEVED; YOU ACHIEVED.

"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."
-Ansel Adams

I thank God every Friday morning for another day I get to stand on the field with 100+ guys who have such a passion for what they do. They've made me more passionate about what I do.


Thank you all for a wonderful season. I love all of you! MUSH!

Memories

mem·o·ry (mm-r)

n. pl. mem·o·ries

1. The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience.

2. The act or an instance of remembering; recollection

This definition has no meaning to me, whatsoever. A memory to me is wanting to remember one second, one moment in your life-big or small. Sure we can remember past experiences, but only the important ones become true memories. Everyone does something they want to remember in their life, whether it be traveling the world taking pictures of world news, following a celebrity as paparazzi, or photographing a high school football team in Trussville, AL-no one does something they don't want to remember. I get asked a lot, "what do you want to do?" There are two ways I can take that question; either "what do you want to do with your LIFE?" or "What do you want to do NOW?" When people ask me this question, the answer that comes to my head is always, "I'm doing what I want to do." I may not know EXACTLY what I want to do with my life, but I know that what I'm doing right now, is what I want to be doing. I wouldn't trade these last 21 games I've had with my second family for anything in the world. No amount of fame, money, or exposure can ever take away the MEMORIES I've made with these guys. People always bring up the fact that I've stayed in Trussville, too. Well, if you got to see things the way I do, every Friday night...trust me, you'd be right here too.

Granted, I don't know when my last game will be, and I don't know when the last time I'll step on that field will be, but I don't want to be remembered for having a "press pass" or for just simply being on the sidelines with the most amazing guys ever. I want to be remembered as someone who was passionate about what they do, and made it known. I want to be known as a friend who was there for them, no matter what. I don't want to be a "photographer," and I don't see myself as a photographer, I see myself as the MUSHographer.

I wouldn't trade my extra days on the field for anything!

I love my boys!!!
