My favorite pictures from 2009

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) and New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning (10) talk after an NFL football game in New Orleans. The Saints beat the Giants 48-27.

After the game ended, Brees was looking for Manning in a crowd of players and media on the field. As I was shooting Brees, Manning popped up in my viewfinder, emerging from the crowd and reaching for Brees' shoulder. This whole scene lasted less than 6 seconds.
