->> Yikes. It just gets uglier and uglier out there. First Upper Deck lost baseball and now Topps has apparently lost football. Many more super talented shooters out there will be looking for work that just does not exist anymore.

Q. Who will pay YOU to photograph a ballgame?
A. Hardly anyone anymore.

Very sad.

Yeah, still just as crowded... with nobody getting paid.

Soon SportsShooter members will be divided into two classifications:

1. Brad
2. People who want to be Brad

->> There are already a bunch of people walking pit road that shouldn't be there. Its as bad as football, just more space to spread out. Really, how many photos of cars turning left are needed? You've got to set yourself apart with your work - an ongoing process.
