First Football of the Season

[Old Timer]

Also a part-time job.....my wife's been pretty patient with me spending most of my retirement at the ballpark, and we do need a little extra cash to supplement my retirement checks. Maybe I'll put together a little portfolio and see if the local newspaper can use me.

Sounds like a great way to supplement the income and have a good time doing something you love. I hope that will work out.

OT, you are waaaaaaaaaay too nice. Embarass you? I embarass myself. LOL I do see a HUGE difference in my photos just from the one year that I've hung out with you all on the sports forum.

I cannot say thank you enough to you guys. Most specifically you, JS, Masdog and livin.

Thanks, JETA, but you had it in you all along.

We grow them ugly and mean looking down my way Sean. Looking forward to some of your football pictures. I love football and shooting it, just wish it wasn't such a challenge at night with these high school fields.

Yeah, OT, you could say that ugly part again.

I'm hoping to get to Green Bay on Monday for some football action. I was supposed to go tomorrow, but I'm stuck babysitting for another day. Yuck! 10 year olds and I don't get along too well...yet. I'm better with infants and toddlers.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some high school football too. I just moved to a new area and they have a small, weekly newspaper. I'm hoping I could get in there.

I have lived in a small rural area all my life. I have found that 90% of the time the local weeklies don't have anyone that is proficient enough to get good sports pictures on staff. the question is are they willing to pay to have good sports pictures in their papers. That is a real tossup. Some editors are and some just don't care and will run any thing the sport reporter snaps with his P&S. I've seen it both ways.

Thanks, OT. With this paper, the sports reporter and photographer is the publisher. So I might have a chance. The only way I'll find out is if I give them a call.

I'm fine with teenagers because they'll usually do their own thing, but my girlfriend's half-brother is 10 and he constantly is popping over one of our shoulders distracting us from what we're doing. Its something I'm not used to or ready for yet, especially when I'm trying to do work.
