A Sea Of Red

our favorite photographer at Liberty Sporting events just won a pretty big award!

There's some other guy mentioned in there too.........

Les takes fantastic shots & does a great job of fulfilling request from those crazy graphic design guys.

Also, it shows a sneak peak at our upcoming media guide.

The Liberty University 2009 Football media guide, a collaborative effort by Schofer and senior staff designer Brian Wallace, placed third in the Publication Covers division.

I think Les Schofer has been doing the same job at LU for about as long as anyone. He was there taking pictures in the 70s when I was a student.

Les does a great job, and he's a great guy, too.

He has an agreement to be the only photographer allowed to shoot LU stuff -- I really think he should exploit that and start selling some stuff. I was at a sports memorabilia shop with a buddy of mine recently and I saw a bunch of really nice stadium panoramas. I suggested that he should shoot some stuff at LU and sell it, but he couldn't b/c of Les's deal. Oh well. I would have liked to have a framed Williams Stadium poster...

They have those. They're from homecoming 06.

And I've very thankful for that...I had a fear a few of the others would stick...luckily they did not

Yes on the first, no on the second. Les is one of many photographers working for LU. LU owns all of the images they take. Others can get passes to shoot at LU sporting events, though.

He IS a great guy who I've had the pleasure of getting to know a little over the last seven or so years. I always enjoy getting to work with him or even just chit chatting with him in the hall. Fantastic asset for LU. They're getting a steal with him, for sure.

Congrats to blwall1416, too. Nice work, fellas.

Yeah, I saw those way back when. Couldn't find where I could get a copy though.

(And besides, I was at that game. We lost because we couldn't kick a darn field goal. Not pleasant. Don't want that memory rehashed.)
