Great Sports Shooter's Journal

I have not shot much this week as I have been watching the Olympics every night. Below is a link to the Chicago Tribune's sports photographer, Scott Strazzante:

It is good insight into his working schedule and thoughts in capturing the Olympics. The first picture is the most recent post, with the last being before the games started.

I am off to Michigan this weekend for another SPPL qualifier and inidivdual/team shots for the new Grag Hastings paintball video game. New posts will follow.

I have been doing the same thing (going to shoot on friday, finally), and there are so many great images coming out of China.

Another great blog with three photogs shooting for newsweek

Thank you for the link. I love reading these as much as looking at the pictures. How these guys go on so little sleep is amazing. For my SPPL trips I run on four hours a night for three nights, but to do it for weeks, incredible.
