Mo’ file art

One of the shots from Sunday’s water polo tournament made it into a story on the two goalkeepers for today’s edition. Just a crop of the head ran in print, but the whole thing showed up online. Considering this wasn’t even a shot that had been put aside as file art, I was pretty surprised to see it run.

A further note on captioning these pictures: Differentiating the players is difficult at best — height, hair color and hairstyle go out the window as identifying characteristics. The players in the pool don’t really resemble their dry, swim cap–free portraits on the team web site. Worse yet, any full-face portrait of a player doesn’t show her number, forcing me to go back and forth through the take looking for a shot of the same player with her head turned. Maybe in time I’ll actually learn to recognize their faces.
