Briliant capture of a terrible tragedy.

Excellent

I have seen an other photo you took from this unfortunate incident. Consistently, you manage to capture images which express the strong emotion felt on and off the pitch.

With out a doubt, I rate your photos as some of the best sports photographs I've ever seen.

I am adding you to my friends list, as I want to ensure I see all your future uploads.

A fotografia está simplesmente excelente! Mas que triste momento esse para todos nós!
Dois jogadores no mesmo ano é muita coisa!

Parabéns pela magnifica fotografia que jamais nos vai deixar esquecer o Miklos...

Um abraço!

Paola Pandolfini   {K:1119} 7/17/2004
I cant describe my sensations in front of this photo. Great is only a word.


omar imam   {K:5514} 7/17/2004
I keep watching this pic all day long, it's one of the best photos i've ever seen,sure there is not alot 2 tell about this one coz it's telling every thing, it gives us alot of meaning about friendship, pain,sport life, and the exraordinary ability of catching intimacy moments. I think u don't have portfolio in this site u have a photography college, it's no good u just have 2 pages, keep going, and thnx 4 sharing, ciao ciao.

Wow....I would think any professional photojournalist would be proud to publish this shot. Fantastic. Lou


Ian Crean   {K:14863} 7/19/2004
Modern footballers are often overpaid, pampered, people but they do provide skill, entertainment, escapism, and sometimes even courage, for the masses. They are also human and for a young man of 24 to endure such a public death like this is awful, for his team mates especially gruelling and for some perhaps too much to bear. Your photos are staggering and the grief of Tiago is utterly consuming. Photographically the rain just seems to paint on the misery.
One thinks also of Marc-Vivien Foe, and countless amateurs may have suffered the same fate for love of their sport.
It is quite brilliant photography.


Odelia Shalev   {K:132} 7/19/2004
What a powerful image.


Pedro Bento   {K:544} 7/19/2004
É com mt dor k ainda olho para fotos k relatam o sucedido, contudo é uma grande foto!


Oliver Racz   {K:169} 7/20/2004
First, let me say that this is one of the best shots of its kind. But secondly, let me say that if I had been where you were, there is no way I would have justified the taking of this picture. I love photography, but I truly hate the guts of photojournalists just as much as I think their work is important, so I will never want to be one. I photograph the life of the poorer people in China, but many times there has been a point where I had to put the camera down and stop taking pictures, otherwise I would not qualify as a human being. Please don't misunderstand me, your photos are really great, and you might be a very nice person, but it is beyond my ability to take pictures of moments like this, not techinically (well, maybe...), but emotionally.

Once a fellow glider pilot of mine crashed, and the photojournalists were there before the ambulance. They were listening (illegally) to the emergency frequency, and as soon as we reported the loss of a plane with two people inside, they jumped up to shoot the story. They were not at all concerned about helping to get the people out of the wrecks, but almost told us to move aside so they can take their damn pictures. Then I was almost ashamed that I, myself was a photographer.


Ryan Torres   {K:375} 7/25/2004
Great shot, you really captured the emotion, the rain drops really add to the composure.

Your portfolio is incredible, your really capture the triumph & tragity of sports.
Great work.


Marcin Hernik   {K:493} 9/1/2004
dramatic event :(


   {K:82} 9/10/2004
good job


Ryan Torres   {K:375} 9/12/2004
As I reviewed my favorites I took another good look at this picture, and I can see it on the cover of Time or Sports Illustrated.

Incredible photograph.


Teresa DeWitt   {K:21} 9/13/2004
One picture...worth a thousand tears


Nándor Vörös   {K:92} 10/5/2004
Fantasztikus kép!!!! Sajnos ezt meg kellett örökíteni.
Ő és a többi csapattársa nagy emberi méltóságról tettek tanubizonyságot amikor Miki meghalt.
Ismét sikerült olyan pillanatot látnom arról a napról, ami mélyen meghatott.
Köszönet az alkotónak!

És természetesen beteszem a kedvenceim közé!
