Webster’s defines a Fan as an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator. I heartily agree on the enthusiastic part as has anyone who gets to attend a college basketball game. Which I did last week when I took in the Syracuse University Orange Men’s Big East Basketball game against the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies. Behind me was this young fan who came dressed to cheer on the Orange.
A young Syracuse University Orange Fan at the Carrier Dome on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. SU went on to post a 72-67 victory over the UConn Huskies.
I took this with the best camera I had at the time, my iPhone.

I like his enthusiasm, but more than that, his obvious good humor!

He was a good sport when I asked if I could take his photo. He and his friends were having a good time.

It’s all about the emotion and expression of a subject and you can feel his team pride! That smile says it all! How could you resist??

Scott, I’d be tickled to get a photo that good from my Canon Powershot. (The fault, um, is not in the camera.) This great image proves a favorite thesis of mine. Great shots come from doing the best that can be done with the materials and tools at hand. This is truly endearing.

Thank you, Gerry. I bet you can do just as good. Learn all about your camera and look for information on the Internet on how best to use it. The other part, seeing a good photo, you already do very well.

I would like to have been there when UL visited the other day Scott 😉

I was there, Bernie. They played terrible in the second half. SU did bounce back against Georgetown.
I’ll be one of the 34,616 people at the Villanova game next weekend, too. Go ‘Cuse!
