On Sports Photography:
Other sports photographers ask me, how do you get those sports action shots with out motor drive? First of all I do not want to go through 64 gigs to get one shot, That's like using a net for fishing. but to get that outstanding shot you have to understand the sport. My father was a college athletic director so I grew up around all kinds of sports, plus I participated in amateur wrestling. Many sports have an "Action Reaction" that you can anticipate. The first movement is sometimes called "a set-up" and it is just to make them react in a certain way so they can make the next move or play easier.

My favorite story is about an AP photographer who I always meet at a national championship every year. He had five top end Canons strapped aound his body and  a lens on each that cost more than my mid-range Nikon with a 28-200 lens. When the competition was through I saw him in the press room downloading his stuff from his computer. I told him he had good work. Then he asked if he could see mine. I showed him my book and his jaw dropped and said, "you shot those with THAT camera." The point I want to make is that it is not the camera, it's the artist. You don't need to buy new cameras and lenses every year. Composition, timing and exposure are more important.
