Last Friday, I was at Ford Field photographing a state football final. In Michigan all of the state football final games are broadcasted live on Fox Sports Net. To cover the game, I was standing on the sidelines near the visitors. Since I was near the visiting team that meant possible TV time. Most of the cameras were set up on the home side of the field facing the visitors side.
Before I left for Detroit, I set my DVR to record the game. I wanted to see myself on TV. Who doesn't want to do that? During the game, I received a voicemail from my sister. She called to say that she saw me on TV. Next the day I watched the recorded game and I saw myself numerous times on TV. Granted I wasn't the main focus, but you could visibly see me in the background.
All this week, people have been saying to me that they saw me on TV. My husband and I were eating at a restaurant Tuesday and an acquaintance let me know he saw me on TV. The topper was yesterday while photographing a high school wrestling match. The official for the match was walking around the mat before starting. He saw me, walked over and asked how I was doing. I told him I was doing well. He then said,"The last time I saw you, you were standing on Ford Field. You were on TV a lot." After he said that he walked over to the center of the mat and started the match for the 171 pound weight class.
Sometimes its nice to be recognized.
