As mentioned in the past I was a freelance SPORTS photographer 15 years: 1969-84. This was my first PRO game a BIG one at that! The Buffalo Bills vs The New England Patriots Sunday November 6, 1976 - HOW OLD WERE YOU! Kneeling on the field with my Nikon FTN mono-pod mounted older Nikkor 300mm f4.5 with Kodak TRI-X ASA 400 b&w film.

Next to me on my left was Neil Lifer with his Nikon and mono-pod mounted Nikkor EDIF 400 f3.5 lens (a new not on the market yet lens) next to him was Walter Iooss with his mono-pod mounted Nikkor EDIF 600mm f5.6 lens. Both Neil Lifer and Walter Iooss are staff photographers for SPORTS Illustrated Magazine!

The game started and the crowed roared! After 9 minutes in the game O.J. and a Patriot player were ejected from the game for fighting. The fans BOOED for at least 2 minutes maybe longer!

But, it gets better! Back then you had now way of knowing what you made on your exposed film until it was developed. As you all can see I did make a classic photo, made by me: Anthony P Gawrys not Neil Lifer or Walter Iooss Jr. from SPORTS Ill. HOWS THAT! AP

GREAT SHOT! As a hometown Chiefs fan, I do remember how OJ used to make our defense look like little kids on the big stage.

Despite the image the title itself raises anger and question: "Does this belong in the attic?"

AP Loc: Massachusetts

Your right, O.J. was very. Still do not understand what happen. Thank you for your response Georgein KC! AP

Good answer, Jakebrake! O.J. was the best! Thank You for your observation . . . AP

No, it does not belong in attic. Reason: AP is writing about a picture he took of OJ and what he use to get that picture. AP wrote more about getting a pictures on a football field and the problems you had to deal with.

Well, at that time, I was 25.

I like to read, So, I read about the OJ trial from:

Marcia Clark
Christopher Darden
Mike Gilbert (his then memorabilia agent)
And
Mark Furman

Who All Wrote a book.

The evidence against OJ was completely overwhelming!!

Just like I always thought, OJ was NOT found to be Not Guilty,

The LAPD was found to be Guilty !!

OJ was not a nice guy, And, Judge, Lance Ito was partially to blame for that verdict.

It was a crying shame, that with the talent OJ possessed, he turned out so bad.

Try to understand Rongnongno, only ONE passes judgemant, NOT YOU!!! Do your photographs have anything to say ???
I think all your photo images are in the attic. HOW'S THAT judgement !!!

This post has nothing to do with photography. It belongs in Chit-chat or The Attic.

Thank You ecar for your fine obversation. There are many faults made with humans I'm still trying to understand - don't we understand, what is right and what is wrong. LOVE does make happiness and success. ALWAYS THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS . . . AP

No, that is your short-coming, sorry.

As to judgment, had you paid attention to the my initial post, I raised a question, not made a decision or a statement of 'facts'. There is a big difference.

That post means I do not like this guy, at all, not for the non-guilty murder charges, I was not there, I do not know. I do not like the guy for what he did next which makes him a less than desirable character to have as a neighbor.

Now, considering how this is deviating, this thread does belong with the attic mud.

I see you do not understand what you said. Back then, there was no AUTO anything cameras, especially auto focus lenses. I see you need quite a of practice. You do not understand the making of a photograph and you do not know what your looking at.

Post a photo, I'll know what too say! You have said nothing to say or show!!! AP

AP Loc: Massachusetts

We are speaking photography. The photo you are viewing is real and it's film, not auto digital everything. No crimes during that game have been made against O. J. Simpson. Since you do not like O.J. Simpson, it tells everyone you have hate it your heart not LOVE!

It would appear (from the sentence beneath the original photo caption) that there's a story behind the story. I can only read the first line, "If there ever was a lucky photograph to be made this was it." Care to share the rest of your account?
