Great pics, as always. I find it funny that Mondi is usually the only guy smiling in the pre-game team photo.

    Maybe I should smile more if I knew I’d be in your pics. I look downright miserable in the one w/ Sheanon Williams “winning the air war”. In my defense, I was cold and wet. 😉

Particularly great photos this week. Keller’s failed dive, Califf’s fight for position, the Valdes header, the Nakazawa service — just great stuff.
