Basketball, referees and cheerleaders

Basketball season is well underway and the conference races have started. Illinois State Redbirds tagged as the most likely #2 before the season have fallen to 0-3 in the first part of conference play.

I know everyone like looking at the player and game photos. Here are the links to Alan Look Photography Creighton v Illinois State and Northern Iowa v Illinois State games. Both games were at Redbird Arena in Normal.

Just for something different, take a look at our Referee photos and Cheerleader photos. They aren't all in these galleries, but you will get a good idea of what is on the rest of the website.

Be sure to get signed up for a subscription to the quarterly magazine Best Look Magazine and check out the Normalite too.

Be sure to stop by John Power Photo to see what he's been up to lately.

Locally seen talent to Quarterback in NFL SuperBowl

On September 15th, 2012 Jimmy Garoppolo visited Hancock Stadium at Illinois State University as the starting quarterback for the Eastern Illinois Panthers. Who knew that 8 years later he would become one of 2 starting quarterbacks in the NFL's SuperBowl. Jimmy of course is the 2nd starting Quarterback from Eastern to do well. Ten Years before, another named Tony Romo completed his senior year at Eastern. Tony went on to an NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Freelance photographer Alan Look was fortunate to have captured both players in action. The image of Tony Romo was taken at Eastern during the Homecoming game in 2002 against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. The image has been used by national media and in several books. The images of Jimmy Garoppolo were both used by Upper Deck as trading cards for his rookie season.
