Brooks & Taylor photo

[psuflyguy]

Not sure where I saw it posted, but I saw a B&W photo of the Brooks and Taylor moment kneeling together on the mat. It was from floor level and directly behind Brooks. I’d love to purchase a copy as a gift. Has anyone seen that and, even better, know who took it? Thanks in advance!

I believe the IG account pennstatewrestle has it on their page. Not sure if one of the photographers they contract with took it, or where else it might have come from.

This one?


Don't see a photo cred, but it looks like Cameraman Dan's work: https://www.instagram.com/cameraman.dan_/

That’s the one. Thank you, Nerfstate!! Now to figure out how to contact him. (I’m not an X guy)

great photo-

Respect!

 

[nerfstate]

That’s the one. Thank you, Nerfstate!!

Let us know if you find out a way to buy a print! If Dan doesn't know, you could reach out to Pat Donghia.

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

I'm having an artist do an original oil on canvas of this. He is very very talented. I'm going to give one to Aaron as a gift (don't spoil the surprise John!) I'm going to donate the second to be auctioned to benefit the NLWC.
However, there is an opportunity for these athletes to benefit if they would like to have numbered lithographs created that they could sign and have sold to idiots like us. All in good time...

If you happened to snap a photo of @mcpat drinking liquor at the bar, I'm sure a hefty donation could be had for that oil painting as well.

That may be on a phone somewhere...

How about an oil on canvas painting of the Ferrari double bird split?

He could probably use it to raise enough money for his inevitable bail.

I feel like that image would also be awesome airbrushed on the side of a windowless van.

It could get towed with Tan Tom's car.

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

Mr. Donghia said they’re not selling the photo and don’t think they will in the future.
First time I’ve ever seen State pass on a chance to make some money.

Someone should suggest PSU sell the photo with a parking pass. No way in hell PSU is going to pass up more parking revenue.

Hang it in the Louvre!!!

My buddy got the other side.

I'm not surprised. At all. I've had PSU reject several ideas over the years with minor tweaks to existing ways, that would open the school up to bigger revenue streams. Every time it was rejected out of hand as too crass or commercialized, without even a discussion of "we like it but maybe scale it back a little." And then they implemented it full-on 5 years later.

Doesn't matter much if PSU won't sell it. While they have the widest reach, NLWC and PSWC should sufficiently cover the target market.

And @82bordeaux -- all jokes aside, it's a wonderful idea.

EDIT: Ask Tony Rotundo, he (likely) may have taken one similar, or Justin Hoch.

Apologies for the hasty error, which I've deleted. I'm traveling on vacation and not looking at anything as closely as I ordinarily would.

 

[nerfstate]

This is probably because they don't own the rights to the photo. The account that posted it conveniently didn't credit the photographer because whoever runs that account is basically scum. But ask Tony Rotundo, he may have taken it. Or Justin Hoch.

Tikk10 just asked me to amend this here (he can't himself right now)--he was talking about a different account that steals pics, not the offical PSU Twitter account. Says he feels bad for the above.

Thanks for the lead, tikk10. I’ll pursue it.

Tikk says if it was a PSU posted photo it was actually probably Mark Selders' work.

Not sure but the black and white version sure made for great wallpaper on my phone.

 

[Chris92]

If PSU doesn't want to make money, maybe Aly does?

 

[Delcolion915]

Two champions, two of the greatest ever, two brothers. Brings tears to my eyes while at the same time, joy. Amazing.

In which case Ryan might buy one.

 

[TILTER88]

I would also like to see any pics of Zain and Nick after their match. Amazing that these elite competitors can compete in the same room every day and still have such close bonds with each other. Man, we, as fans, are so fortunate to get to follow this group of young men.

Not Tom. Just as he thought parking in the Fire Lane was valet parking, he will think he is entitled to one. Afterall, he sacrificed multiple Buckeyes to the greatness of DT and AB.

3rd to last one in this set:

@82bordeaux, I'll let you buy mine! Ha
