American Heart Associaton's 2007 Monopoly Gala

On Friday, I had the privelege to photograph the American Heart Association's 2007 Monopoly Gala, held at the Hotel Del Coronado. The evening centered around a gigantic Monopoly tournament, with the top four finishers heading home with some pretty cool prizes. More importantly, however, the event raised a ton of money for the AHA.

I've photographed lots of different sports in my life, but had never photographed people playing Monopoly. Who knew board game players could get so animated?!
