I was blessed to be able to meet and photograph former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil recently at Golden Oak’s Country Club just north of Reading, PA. Because I am a huge football fan, I jumped at this opportunity. Again, my grandfather had an influence on me, giving me a special place in my heart for the Philadelphia Eagles when I was young. At the time when Dick was head coach of the Eagles, I had my grandparents teaching me to cheer for them. I eventually became a San Fransisco 49ers fan, but always root for the Eagles when they are playing. Dick is the 3rd head coach I’ve photographed this year. First I photographed Joe Paterno back in March and then Brian Billick in April. He couldn’t have been nicer or more down to earth. I was on assignment for a wonderful cable company, Windstream Communications, and they needed some photos on the spot during a golf outing they were holding.

I brought along my great friend and amazing photographer Olé from PhotOlé Photography to help with some logistics. We set up camp on the par 3, 13th hole to get photographs of Dick with each person in the tournament, then printing them on the spot. They had him sign a bunch of matte’s so they could take the prints and get them put in the frames for each golfer. He was also there to hit a ball with each group and give them a chance to use his ball if it was closest to the hole. It was also really great to get to talk some football with someone who really knows a lot about football. The question of the day was centered around the current Eagles QB situation. This week Michael Vick had won a game while Kevin Kolb was on IR after a concussion. So, almost every golfer came up and asked him who he thought they would start. He gave a great answer stating that he thought Kolb would get the start only being off for one week. However, things must not have gone so well, as Vick will get the start. Anyway, after the golfers finished up, they joined Dick for some dinner at the clubhouse. Then he gave a great little speech that I could have listened to for hours. He was such a great speaker, no wonder he was a great coach. Again, I feel blessed and luck to have been given this opportunity. I made the best I could of it and I hope to get the call for it next year.

Enjoy the photos and to see a bunch more, head over to my Facebook Page.
