It’s football and Halloween season. That means we are in need of high school and college photos, Bills tailgate photographers and Haunted House and Fall Festival photos. As for Bills tailgate photos: there has been some questions over where to park and who will pay for parking when you take photos. Buffalo.com/The Buffalo News will cover the cost, and you could really park anywhere (local or Bills lot) to get great photos.
There are events that we're taking photos at where alcohol is being served. Please kindly ask the people to put the drink down or at least out of the shot. We don't want to encourage unsafe partying by posting inappropriate photos on the site.
Buffalo State’s homecoming is this weekend, and there are a few different events planned. All the info is below.
It’s a pretty extensive events list this week, let me know if you have questions.
Thanks to all!
