Okay, so the international soccer games this past Monday were boring as hell, and really too hot to play, BUT I went out and got some photographs before the matches started of the American Outlaws for a new portrait collection, and this is what I got. Also is the artist statement for the collection.
As the the world sport of Futbal/Soccer takes a firm grasp on the American public, the United States National Teams, both Men's and Women's, find a faithful group of followers, who call themselves the "American Outlaws", who dedicate themselves to traveling around the country, and sometimes the world, to support their team. This small collection of photos illustrates these dedicated fans' passion and pride for their club and country.
(I feel bad for those two girls...as soon as this photo was taken, they realized that they lost one of their tickets to the game. I wonder if they ever found it...)
