Photographer captures Seattle Seahawks historical past

KIRKLAND, Wash. – Corky Trewin’s residence workplace appears to be like somewhat like a Seattle sports activities museum.

Signed footballs. Bobbleheads. Media passes. Folders of negatives. Decades of reminiscences tied to 1 profession spent behind the digicam. Each piece carries a narrative, a sport, a season, a turning level.

Trewin started first working as a Seahawks photographer in 1979. 

“Looking back I spent 44 years with the Seahawks,” stated Trewin. “A sports photographer is looking for the next great moment.”

Three moments that outlined the franchise

One of Trewin’s most treasured images got here within the locker room after Seattle’s Super Bowl victory, the place he captured late proprietor Paul Allen strolling in with the Lombardi Trophy as gamers celebrated. He added that Allen later paid for the Super Bowl ring he now wears, a long-lasting image of that history-making-moment.

Another favourite picture dates again to the 2005 season, when Seattle defeated the Carolina Panthers to win the NFC Championship at residence throughout the Mike Holmgren period at what was then Qwest Field. 

“So its Paul Allen, hoisting up the NFC Championship picture, the George Halas trophy,” stated Trewin. “You can see Saun Alexander in the background. It’s the moment for Paul Allen. Paul Allen bought the team, kept the team in Seattle we win the NFC championship at home.”

He recalled from 2002 to 2005 the workforce gained 4 straight NFC west championships.

Trewin’s third choose goes again to 1983, early in his profession, when the Seahawks earned their first main playoff highway win.

“We beat the Miami Dolphins. They were just stunned in the Orange Bowl,” he recalled. “In the locker room, Dave Brown is going to hand the game ball to Chuck Knox as they’re cheering the win.”

He nonetheless remembers the power of that turning level in franchise historical past. That victory marked Seattle’s first postseason look.

“It’s our first big win, on the road in the playoffs,” he stated. “It’s the moment that head coaches live for through their players and the team family relationship that coaches and players have in a successful run. It’s much like what this team has.”

Why the moments matter

“Every picture is a historical moment, not only for the team but for the player,” he stated.

He believes these moments lengthen past the sector and into the broader group of followers who’ve adopted the workforce for generations.
