My day 4 story
It was the finals match in individual competition between Antti Malin and Jamie Parke. I’d been watching the coverage on the big screen and needed to walk around a bit. I decided to try to get some shoots of the match. Now they’d restructured the feature match area brought in the coverage cameras, including a boom, and cordoned the whole area off.
So there I was zoomed to the max, trying to get some shots (note to self.. screw portability and go for quality: take a real camera next time, you’ll want it). Anyway.. I digress. So I’m taking shots… Up walks Scott Larabee. “Hey”, I’m thinking to myself “I’m outside the ropes.”
“Would you like to come in and take some pics?” (paraphrased based on memory) he asks. “Sure… how close can I get?” “Right up to the table… I’ll walk you in”. So I took a few shots at the table, the best is below.
That experience sort of exemplifies my whole feel of Worlds: very well run, but also very mindful of the fans and trying to make it as rich and rewarding of an experience as possible.
