Jay was a great guy and an awesome photog to work for. My style fit very well with his which always makes me pleased because I felt as though I was able to add something to the assignment other than just downloading cards and schlepping one of his 5 cameras (yes, that's not a typo). At first I thought that it was a lot of gear for just your everyday game but if I had the gear I could see myself doing the same thing. Each lens is a tool and you always need the right tool for the job. Just because I know that you're curious, we brought a 16-35, 28-70, 70-200, 300 and 600 on a mix of Canon Mark II's, IIN, and III's. You can't carry all that by yourself and thankfully for me it keeps me employed.
I watch a LOT of Sports Center so I'm able to provide various tidbits throughout the game that's helpful when you're looking that shot. However I'm really just there to lend a helping hand and be another set of eyes. I really enjoy assisting because it opens my eyes up to things that I don't notice when I'm shooting. I already know that the next time that I shoot football that I'll be a better shooter because I assisted someone else today.
I'm back at work tomorrow. Obama is coming to Pueblo which is about an hour south of the Springs so I'm anxious to see if I get sent down to cover it. Only one way to find out...
