My second photograph is one that is a memory remember by sports fans still to this day and it is “The Catch” by Walter Iooss Jr. The photo was taken by Mr. Iooss during the 1982 NFC Championship Game on January 10 as Dwight Clark catches a touchdown pass from Joe Montana in the fourth quarter. This photo lives on still to this day as one of the best football plays to ever have happened and the picture by Walter Iooss Jr gives it all the justice it deserves. I recieved this photo from Mr. Iooss's personal website and through his album titled football.
Walter Iooss Jr has worked for Sports Illustrated since 1961 and has taken many famous pictures during his time with the magazine. The photo first appeared in the January issue of Sports Illustrated and propelled Iooss to a higher level of respect in the photography world. Mr. Iooss has since taken many famous photos, but none have ever held the same honor as “The Catch.”
I see in this photo Impact, because of all the sports fans that have saw this photograph and understood its meaning to the game of football. Prominence, because of who threw the pass (Joe Montana) and the cities that were playing at the time being major U.S. sports cities. Conflict, because of the drama it caused when the 49ers scored and took the lead and Bizarreness because the catch was a miraculous play and seeing a huge play in a late game situation is a rarity.
