If you watch NFL network you’ll know that Z was the first team sports photographer in all of the NFL. He was brought on by Bill Walsh in the 80′s and his most famous photograph is one of Montana and Walsh drawing up a play in an NFC Championship game. He’s just as much a part of the team as anyone. He’s been there in San Fran longer than players, coaches, and owners. If you follow the 49ers, you know Z.

There are sports photographers here! I lurk in the background more than I post. It’s interesting to hear his side of the game, I feel a lot of the same things when shooting motocross races. I’m really into what’s happening in the race and how it affects the points during the season but when it comes down to getting the shot all that gets pushed aside, favorite rider or not.

I like people say ‘we’ when they don’t own any part of the team or are out there in a uniform on the field getting pounded week in & week out.

Nothing special, i can tell this kind of stories about every shot i took when my local team was playing.
His photos are not so great,ordinary sports photos.Other way, if i’am wrong, i am great photographer ,because my photos of football game are same caliber and even better.

Hmmm…we don’t seem to have many sports photographers here; surely more people are interested in this sort of thing?

Great job Marc. Love seeing all the images and getting the inside prospective from Micheal. And, perfect timing – go 49′s.
