THE STORY OF BRUCE ELY Lead photographer for the Portland Trail Blazers    “I miss being with the team. I can close my eyes and see the route I would take to practice every day.”  - Wesley Matthews Bruce Ely Lead Photographer at Portland Trail Blazers I chose Bruce Ely as my Photographer of the week because of the Trail Blazers I have been a fan since I was seven. I wanted to learn more about what it is like to be the man behind the camera for the Blazers.  Bruce Ely is a compassionate person he is a well rounded photographer. He has won several awards. In the photo I picked for this post I was impressed that Ely was there with Wesley Matthews taking this shot of him while the Blazers were playing. This photo of Wesley showed a side of an injured player that desires to play, he was a starter. I like how Ely showed that Wesley was watching the TV and the colors in the photo make you feel sad and gloomy.  Ely has over 20 years experience and has covered events like the Winter Olympics. B
