In 1982 I became the Chief Photographer at The Modesto Bee and took on the extra job of covering the 49er games. The sports department told me the Niners weren’t very good but obliged me by helping me get credentials. Who knew that Bill Walsh and Joe Montana would take the team to the Superbowl that very year. It was a heck of a ride and I am still photographing games. Two years ago in late May I had both of my knees replaced. I didn’t miss any games, but it wasn’t easy getting back to kneeling at Candlestick Park. This past year, at 6-10 the 49ers were even shakier than my knees. If you would like to see the rest of my 49er images click here.
