Such Gallantry

DC United hosted the Chicago Fire at RFK stadium this past June 16. As

a retired player and coach, I was interested in the play on the field,

but was even more interested in the fans. Of the 200 images captured,

maybe thirty or so will be shown in a photo essay format, so please

consider each image as part of the series.

Fascinating picture. You can spend hours trying to work out the relationship between the two and what is going through the lady's mind, given that so detached expression on her face...

I also find myself wondering about the guy in the middle and even the two on the far left.

Such a strange picture. The woman shows no reaction at all to the act of gallantry while the motley crew looks on without interest. This may be difficult to work into a photo essay on the game. It's so totally bizarre and doesn't fit easily into the genre of sports event but as pure photography it"s great.
