->> 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. |

| ->> And to think we were complaining about the crowded sidelines back in the 90's with all the card shooters. If we only knew how bad this industry would become. |

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

| ->> 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. |
