[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3126675, member: 28"] This. Among her many gifts were those of not only composition, but context: Each of those pictures tells it's own story. And she was able, [I]instinctively[/I], to get herself in position to capture those moments with the contextual background that brought each image into iconic status. Plus, she managed to get it on old-fashioned film, with only 24 frames a roll. Nowadays, you can shoot tens of thousands of images at staggering definition, but then it was a part of the calculation that you had to be prudent with the images you had, and not waste. As a Band member, we would crowd the endzones before halftime so that we could move into position and do our show once the teams headed to the locker rooms. Linda was always there, eyes out for things. In '84, she took a shot from very close to us of Kenneth Davis running into the end zone, two Tech defenders hard on his heels, with water splashing around their feet as they ran. The pic wound up on the front page of the Sports section the next day. As a larval photographer, I was amazed even then that I was looking at the same damned thing she was, but she saw so much more, and was able to capture it. [/QUOTE]
