Carolyn, Emily, Madeleine and I went to the St. Louis University basketball game yesterday against the University of Rhode Island. It was played at SLU's Chaifetz Arena, where son-in-law Brian is executive chef. He got us great seats.
The arena's policy is that you can bring a camera that will fit in the palm of your hand. My trusty 5D Mk 3 won't fit in my briefcase so these are iPhone shots, not bad considering. The home team is in white. Just don't ask about the final score.
Madeleine had a blast. She loved the noise, motion, color and, I think, most of all, the band. The kid clearly enjoys music. However, she really didn't know how to react to SLU's bizarre mascot, the Billiken. No one else does, either.

Sounds like great day then. Weird camera rule, although I have heard it before from several different photographers and places.
Very good action shots with the phone Bob, I haven't taken one with mine, keep forgetting it's there :) must remember for those times a real camera isn't allowed. Gorgeous Madeleine looks like she's enjoying the game!
I never quite figured out the Billiken when I was at SLU, either. What the heck is it, anyway?
Love these shots. It's amazing what you can do with a phone!
For sure. One strange mascot, but there are many others. Hoosiers? I know what it is, but how does one interpret it? They once had some sort of hick character running around on the floor. he 'left' after a couple of seasons never to be seen again
I guess the home team didn't fare well?
These are excellent iPhone photographs, Bob. I am impressed that you were able to capture such nice photos with only an iPhone.
