Josie Lepe Image Tour: Candlestick, Detroit, Hertl

In this Image Tour Josie Lepe, a photojournalist with 20+ years experience and a specialty in Sports Photography takes us behind the scenes of three of her most significant images. She opens with an image that came through preparation, luck, and her playing her part of the team, no matter what. Her historic image of how the 49ers won their last game at Candlestick Park rightly became one of the 100 memorable images of Candlestick Park. Then Josie takes us to her strength, hockey. First with an image from her first solo travel assignment to photograph the San Jose Sharks in Detroit, and then Tomáš Hertl's iconic introduction to the NHL.
