My other Hobby........Sports Photography

[flash]

Well, after 35 years of working for Newspapers and 30 years of shooting Weddings, I am pretty much retired now. Concentrate on Fishing, BBQ-ing and still doing something I love.......shooting Little League.

Bandelero group......can't expect much from these youngsters....except some laughs.

T-Ball gets a little more interesting, but they are still learning.

Rookie gets more interesting.......

 

[flash]

Minors is a blasts.......

And Majors moved around too much for me to follow......

Over 6500 images posted to my website this year in hopes of the Parents buying a few. Some do, many don't. Saddens me sometime when times are tough like this. Still I will continue on, because I love it.

 Just click on the group you would want. CAAA Baseball, CAAA Softball, etc and it will open up a list of dates, click on that and then supply me with an email address, you can opt out of emails from me and it will open up each game.

Those pics are totally AWESOME !!!!

Nice job Flash!!

I'm 62 +, but I can still remember what it felt like to see an action baseball pic of myself, when I was a kid !!!

And they couldn't do pics that good, back then.

No, I didn't mean with a hammer & chisel !!!!!    Who said that ??

Thanks for the great views,

Bear

Flash excellent pictures...your taking family heirloom quality shots there. What a great way to use your talent producing lifelong memories for so many young kids!!!

My son-in-law loves photography and finally got his dream job in the Marines ...battalion combat photographer...It took three tours and 7 years to get it.... but man is he happy with his promotion.

Not to step on your thread Flash, but I just had another memory.

During Vietnam that was not a good job. Some big brass determined the first 7 seconds of a firefight were the most exciting, so they moved the photographer up, 6 meters behind the point man, with the squad leader right behind him. It was hard on all 3 of them, since in those days, the photographer didn't have much booby trap education.

If it was that hard for your SIL to get the job, it sounds like they're now using well trained guys for that job, instead of a guy who is only good at camera work.

I'm sure Battalion CP is much different than squad photographer too.

I'm with Bear sorry flash...

Bear as battalion combat photographer he is in charge of company...platoon...squad photographers. He sorts ...files and classifies photos sent to his office. He also gets to run classes for uncle sam training field photographers. It is a gravy job...lol  He was a squad photographer for one tour after there was a injury to the original recruit and it steamrolled from there. 13 more years and he is retiring from the marines.
