Bloopers
Take a look at a few of my career bloopers…
“Career Moment at Fenway”
Click to Watch!
I have waited my entire television career for this to happen, and I did not think it would. But it did and the ball did not break the lens. Manny Ramirez pulled the ball right up to my camera platform and the baseball hit the shroud the surrounded the outer element of glass on a Canon 75x HD lens.
“Eric Byrnes Foul Ball”
Click to Watch!
Oakland at Boston. Eric Byrns hits a foul ball and it almost got me up on my left field camera position at Fenway Park.
“Kevin Millar Pulls One”
Click to Watch!
Seattle at Boston. Former Boston player, Kevin Millar pulls a ball foul and it almost knocks me off my platform at Fenway Park. Its a good thing I has harnessed in!
“Plowed Into Under the Basket”
Click to Watch!
Toronto at Boston. JR Bremmer blocks a shot and heads right for me as I sit defenseless under the basket on a stool. I get nailed and never forget this day at the FleetCenter with the Celtics.
“BU Basketball Blunder”
Click to Watch!
Manhattan College at Boston University. This is an old video. I was working for WABU when I was in college and I remember this game very clearly. I was sitting under the right basket on a chair and during a layup attempt, I get blasted. The camera never hit the ground!
And many more to come…I am sure!
OMG look at all the hair you had in the BU clip!
These are great! Who knew that camera operators got so much screen time.
@Jesse: I am just happy that I was on a sports broadcast where they used the “elevator door” wipe to get in and out of the replay.
@Kyle: It is best that we camera guys stay behind the camera anyway…
Haha, this is really funny! It’s always ‘lucky’ you who gets hit.
Haha Tom, you’re laughter in the Eric Byrnes one is contagious. I love the coffee on the ledge
Jeez, who’d have thought basketball would’ve been so dangerous to a camera-man!?!?!
Ahh…the WABU days!
Chairs with wheels are great for basketball when you don’t have a row of photog’s or cheerleaders boxing you in. But you wanna talk dangerous, one of the camera guys I work with broke a few ribs shooting an arena football game. He was standing in the back of the endzone, never saw the receiver coming from the other side of him.
use bullet proof glass in the front of u … ALWAYS
Awesome those “Camera savers”, I really know how you are feelin when the camera is just falling of xD
hey tom you are the best. great, great pictures.
good luck for the future.
