Hundreds of loud Seahawks fans showed up for a public rally at Seattle Center Wednesday, braving sporadic rain to dance to some live music and see appearances by members of the Sea Gals, mayor Ed Murray, a few former Seahawks players, and plenty more. There were also a limited amount of the coveted “Seattle Mix” Skittles being handed out. Fans also were able to sign a giant 12th Man flag that will be sent to the Super Bowl and presented to the team before the game.

My work, photojournalism, Published work, Seattle, Sports, Still photography

On assignment for Reuters this Sunday I covered “The International,” which is an annual Dota 2 video game competition that was held at Benaroya Hall in Seattle this year. Dota 2 is a massively popular game that I had not even heard of until last week. Benaroya was a packed house and got pretty intense at times since the winning team took home, oh, you know, just a mere $1.4 million. No big deal. Actually, second place ain’t too shabby either – they took home over $600,000.

I came in knowing nothing about the game of Dota 2 or its massive worldwide community, but everyone I met was really friendly. Also, it’s always nice being surrounded by so many different languages and accents.

See the Dota 2 pictures below. Thanks for looking.

On Monday I shot the Seattle Mariners vs Toronto Blue Jays at Safeco Field for Reuters. It was a good time and a pretty quick game – Iwakuma and Dickey had a pitchers’ duel for about seven innings until the M’s finally scored in the bottom of the seventh, only for the Jays to come back in the eighth and score three. That was all of the scoring as the Blue Jays were victorious in front of what seemed like a home crowd for them. It was a Canadian holiday and the first game of the series, so a lot of eager Blue Jays fans were at the park that evening, and were very vocal.
