Sports Turf Managers Association Magazine Cover
This month's issue of the Sports Turf Managers Association industry trade magazine features their 2009 incoming President, Abby McNeal. Abby has worked with the Denver Broncos on Invesco Field and is currently the Turf Manager for The School of Mines in Golden, CO. The campus and fields for The School of Mines is at the base of the Rocky Mountains along the banks of Clear Creek and a rock's throw upstream from the famous Coors Brewery.
The assignment for this shoot was to hi-light Abby and to showcase what she does so well. In lay mens terms... she makes the grass green and pretty. We met before daylight on a chilly October morning. I would set up a shot, take some tests then we would jump in our cars to warm up. Once our skin had color we would jump out, shoot and repeat. The shot that was selected for the cover was from our last set up.
