PrintThe wife and I had a Mardi Gras ball to attend the night before at the Hilton Riverside so we decided to stay at the hotel and make a weekend out of it. We spent the day walking around downtown and being tourists in our own city. I brought the camera with me everywhere we went and I think the result is a pretty cool photographic journey through the day. There's a good bit here and I hope it conveys the entire feel of the day. My finest photographic work to date, if I do say so myself. Enjoy.
Sort of a homemade frontiersman-type Saints outfit.
Don't ask because I have no idea.
Viking pimps.
Best shirt of the day. Drew looks pretty scary.
$2,500 original. I'm waiting for the print.
The morning's headline.
Saints RV
Saints RV
The calm before the storm.
Theme of the night.
This is where I start to get nervous.
I'll let you guys caption this one.
Payton is driving this offensive...plow?
Fans watching the AFC game inside the Superdome lounge.
Good one.
Normally the Voodoo Man.
George Bush, Sr. with the Bensons.
Brunell shaking hands with Bush and Rita being told a secret. Shhh. Tracy Porter also came over to chat with Bush for a moment.
James Carville
Apparently Carville is always working.
Roger Goodell and George Bush having a chat.
Pre-game chant.
Pre-game stretches.
Tom and Gayle doing a walk around before the game, just in case he doesn't get to make one afterwards.
Yes, that is the Ying Yang twins chillen' with a couple of nuns. Bet you never thought you'd see that.
Caption this photo, too.
Scary. But probably not for the reasons he thinks.
Another good one.
Deuce and Reggie watching the action.
Why would I stop now?
Reggie set to return a punt.
Here we come to get you.
More Favre signs.
Jay Glazer
I think this was the 4th down play in OT.
Getting the confetti shooter ready.
Security in place.
The kick heard 'round the quarter. And...
...pandemonium...
He can't believe it.
Benson boogieing onto the field.
Post-game ceremony.
More confetti.
How many trees were killed in the making of this celebration? Who cares, it's worth it.
Payton raising the trophy.
Sharper on the big screen.
Payton walking around the stadium.
Sharper walking around the stadium with the trophy.
This ought to cover us in the mojo department for all of next season.
Mickey Loomis greeting fans.
And signing autographs.
Beautiful.
Cleaning up.

I got chills all over again.
Thanks for those pictures man.
I could never afford to go to a Saints game, but those great pics made me feel like I was right there.
"I definitely believe in destiny, and I believe in karma and what goes around comes around. We have been on the other side of this deal probably too many times. Maybe it's our time that we start catching some of the breaks, and start being the team that wins them like this in the end." -- Drew Brees
NAH if only a few tears its all good

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Caption for Photo #12
“So you want to get together and let me exact some revenge on Tiger?”
Nice work on the photos as usual, though even you would admit you may have been working in one of the most target-rich environments of all time on Sunday.
Check the new signature.

I'm Happy For You Guys
it was a special time in 1998 when the Broncos became champions for the first time and may the best team between the Saints and Colts win @ South Florida. I like them both. Good luck!

Awsome job Dave!
For the 1st photo with the nun…“So…if we win are you getting crunk?”
For the 2nd photo with the nun…“If we win?! We already got this so I’ve been crunk for hours!”
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
I never thought I'd see
the Ying Yang Twins chillin wit nuns. Of course, it helps when you’ve never heard of the Ying Yang Twins.
Dad always liked us best.

I thought those nuns were the YING YANG twins – now I’m confused
Why not us? Why not Deuce?

Great shots!
What a game! What a CELEBRATION!!!

Captions all day...
The Vikings Pimps – This shot is awesome! My man means business, and none of the funny kind. hahaha. starting from left;
3) “I hope you HATE me.”
“Awww. C’mon mannn. Where did you get the Coors at?”
“It’s cool, I know these white boys are really my hoes.”
“HEYYYY, he looks like that guy form….ya know..with the uhhh…”
5) $2,500…for that. Are you kidding me, that “Who Dat Cat” better be referring to some of the cheerleaders in picture 57.(OK Dave, great pics, but if you want captions, I’d like to get #’s next to the pics, Thanks.)
12) “Your calender pics? Yes Honey, I got ’em. Love you too, By-e.” Seriously, why would you be walking around with that? I also thought about going with “Marry Me.”
whatever) The Ying Yang Twins and the Nun,
Sister: “Don’t tell anyone, but I do love those horns! I gets me….ummmm…crunk!”
Twin: “Are you gonna-tell-why-they-gonna-crunk?”
Sister: “Yeah!”
Here is some bonus footage and some extra laughs courtesy of youtube and whatever news station decided to drag these guys in front of their cameras for their audiences pleasure???….

Confetti idea
not sure if they threw it all away, but I thought a good idea would have been to save it then sell portions of it with some type of other item like a small plaque or something commemorating this event, then have all the proceeds go to charity. I’d buy that.
