United Fall To CD Gaudalajara In SuperLiga
Here are a few shots from DC United's losing effort against CD Guadalajara. We will be posting up more a little later today.
RFK stadium lost power in half the stadium last night during play. The outage delayed play while the lights had to reset themselves and come back on. This provided an opportunity for some photos that would typically have to be staged or "Photoshopped."

DC United vs. Chicago Fire (0-1), After The First Period
It has stayed dry so far despite threats of Thunderstorms, so far the only thing dampening spirits is the single goal by Chicago Fire late in the first period.

Photo Shoot For New DC United's Jersey And Sponsor
Here is a slick little video of my friend Mitchell Layton, sports photographer extraordinaire, during a photo shoot with some of the guys from DC United as they sport their new uniforms with the VW logo. DC United just inked a deal for VW to be their shirt sponsor.
Caught this as I was doing a little pre-game prep. OffWing Photo will be out there tonight to catch all of the soggy action from tonight's game against the Chicago Fire. Game time will be just after 9pm due to a 30 minute pre-game show on ESPN2, who will be airing the show.

Busy Day For OffWing Photographers
Saturday was a busy day for the OffWing photographers. Kate McGovern was covering the exciting the story of the Capitals getting into the playoffs by the hair of their chinnie (not sure of the spelling on this), chin chin. Don't get me wrong with that characterization, the Washington Caps have been playing great.
Alexander Semin celebrates his third period goal with Ovechkin and Green. The goal sealed the win for the Capitals at 3-1.

The Caps have completed an incredible comeback as the first team in the 30-team era of the NHL’s history to go from 14th or 15th place in their conference to a playoff spot. Kate posted a couple of other pictures that you can check out on OffWing.
At the same time Ellen Blanchard was at RFK covering the return of soccer season as the DC United took on Toronto FC. DC picked up a 4-0 win in front of the hometown, for more on the game you can check out Kris Herrell's coverage, Ellen also has more pictures from both the first half and the second half.

So what did this leave me? A day of spent inside a cold and dark hotel ballroom for a some continuing education. I along with about 30 other photographers participated in the Aperture Users Profressional Network's (AUPN) road tour of one-day intensive briefings on Apple's Pro photo application, Aperture, which is a great workflow tool for photographers.
With the Caps extending their season we are planning for an exciting spring and summer. OffWing and OffWing Photo will again be expanding our coverage of more sports and events.
