SI Photographers' Shots of the Decade

Simon Bruty, 2006

"I've been to a lot of World Cups, and shot a lot of games, and I have taken remote cameras to almost every game I've shot. This is probably the first decent remote photograph I have gotten from a soccer game. I tell people that remote cameras are great when they work, but you pour so much into getting them to work, you tend to forget about the camera that you have in your hands. You keep thinking that the remote's going to be the one, but it's actually the one in your hands that you control. There's a good photographic lesson there."
