This will be a simple post. I haven't been too busy since the Triple Crown races so there isn't too much variety here. I've had 4 MLB games and an MLS game I shot for USA Today Sports Images, Arlington Million Preview Day for Eclipse Sportswire (who hired me for Triple Crown races). I got to see Victor Espinoza in four different races where he won the first one.
The more exciting thing I worked on was my first assignment with Getty Images. I was hired as a freelance field editor for a minor PGA tournament but ended up shooting a lot since it was only myself and Todd Warshaw, one of Getty's long-time freelancers. It didn't take very long to realize that working with a major client for Getty, like the PGA, takes a lot more than one photographer. I hardly knew anything about photographing golf before I went, so I learned a lot while I was there and from Todd.
(I also have not retrieved my files from PGA since I worked on a different laptop and haven't sent over a hard drive to have them put on for me, so I have to use the embed feature).
