Poignant Photos on "Garbage Bag Day" (locker clear out)

[KB_fan]

Well.... if it hasn't hit you that the 2015 Panthers season is REALLY REALLY over.  These powerful & poignant photos will do the trick.

Wonderful set of shots by Melissa Melvin-Rodriguez.

It's perfect that they're in black & white.. somehow fitting the occasion.  The starkness of a season ending.

The team friendship & chemistry oozes out of the pictures.  Guys sitting chilling.  Signing one anothers' jerseys...., hugging.

Here are a few shots:

Bersin:

 

Tre & Ed:

 

Cam signs for two of the rooks (Cox & Byrd)

These are really good.  Guys like Cam, Greg, Luke know they'll be back next year.  But Bersin sitting in his locker soaking it all in knowing in the back of his head this could be his last time sitting in a NFL locker room.  Same for Cox and Byrd they might next be in the same locker room as Cam again.

2 Things:

1:  That made be a little sad.

2:  Bersin is rocking the boat shoes.

Really hope we are seeing Cox and Byrd again, in some capacity, next year.

digging the pics and that someone took them. I'm a photographer and go to training camps (even rivals like the saints). I tried coming to the panthers, but the timing did not work out. and with y'all having a awesome season, there will be to many fans in my way. 

anyone that is interested. you can check out my work Golden-hour.net

if anyone can get me in to where I am not around all the large crowd. then I am in.
