When head shot day goes wrong

Trevor Mack
Every August, I pack my lighting gear and head to NC State to set up for a two-day head shot day. All the winter and spring athletes come in anytime between 9am and 4pm to have their photo take. Staff are also welcome to come.
Typically I do both days, but travel with football to South Carolina precluded me from doing the Wednesday session. So my friend and fellow photographer Karl Deblaker filled in on Wednesday. On the first day, I was getting a couple outtakes and Pat Norris in the media relations office suggested that we keep a collection of all the outtakes on file, and post them to the new blog on gopack.com. So I wanted to link you to the blog so you can check out the outtakes.
Hopefully this is something we can do on an annual basis. We thought the fans would get a kick out of the photos.

Wanted to give a shout out to the following ACC lacrosse players who were drafted last night in the Major League Lacrosse (MLL) draft. They are, in order of draft:
Well, I was right about the Buckeyes starting strong. They scored first to make the score 0-1, scoring off an EMO (btw, how does Sam Payton get hit with a delay of game when the game was only 10 seconds in? I missed the call as my camera was focused elsewhere). I was also right that Duke would come out after the Buckeyes strong start and win the game. What I had very wrong was how long it would take Duke to come back — it ended up not taking long at all. At the 10:39 left on the clock in the first, the officials could have stopped there when Brad Ross scored to put Duke up 2-1. Duke would never be down again and would not stop the carnage until the score was 10-1. Congrats to OSU though for their great success this summer. It is great to see a midwest team get some serious respect in the lacrosse world.
