Olindo Mare made this 46-yard field goal to give the Seahawks a 19-17 lead with five minutes remaining, but Chicago rallied for a 25-19 victory in the final minutes. While Mare converted on 4-6 field goal attempts, his two misses proved costly and those six points were the margin of victory for the Bears. For [...]]]></description>

As fans, we are constantly aware of the violent fury of football, whether we are watching at home on TV, or from the 50-yard line at the stadium. There are many quiet moments that surround the games, however, and those moments remind us that the sport is played by real people &#8212; not superheroes in [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m very fortunate to work for the Seattle Seahawks as a team photographer &#8212; it&#8217;s a great organization committed to excellence and doing things the right way. Despite covering the team for over a decade as a sports photographer with the Seattle Times, seeing the team from the inside has brought me a new perspective [...]]]></description>

But having spent the early years of my life living only two blocks from the &#8220;pits&#8221; of the annual Seafair unlimited hydroplane races, I still get a kick out of photographing these big, fast, if a bit balky, flying boats. Having grown up in awe of the sport, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Sorry. Couldn&#8217;t help it.
Actually, this is a kick in the AIR. Famed FC Barcelona footballer Thierry &#8220;I have no interest in playing for the Sounders FC at this time&#8221; Henry contorts and fires a bicycle kick shot back over his head and that of Seattle Sounders FC defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado [...]]]></description>

The assignment was to shoot the Inaugural Rock &#39;n&#39; Roll Marathon in Seattle. 25,000 others also getting up early [...]]]></description>
