6 Cameras, 1 World Cup Match: Brazil vs. Norway, as Seen From Outside MetLife Stadium

The morning after an explosive Fourth of July in New York, I make my way to MetLife Stadium to watch Brazil take on Norway in the World Cup. Refusing to spend nearly $100 on the official train and shuttle, I take an Uber instead, arriving at the American Dream Mall by 11 a.m. My first mission is surprisingly simple: find a transparent bag. 

Once that’s done, I fill it with four disposable cameras, an Olympus point-and-shoot, and my Nikon F100. Every frame today will be shot on Kodak Portra.

Hours before kickoff, before Norway knocked Brazil out of the tournament with a stunning 2-1 victory, the stadium is already alive. Hot-dogs, brisket sandwiches, and loaded Doritos compete for attention with the smell of sunscreen. Michelob Ultras are everywhere, kids proudly wear fresh face paint, samba blasts from portable speakers, and yellow jerseys slowly swallow the parking lots. Despite the clouds, the light is fierce.

By the time the referee blows the first whistle, I realize I’ve barely looked at the pitch. There was already more than enough happening outside.
