SportsShooter.com

This Sportsshooter Web site has been going since 2002 and is very popular among some of the photographers around the country. I have thought of joining since 2003, when I returned to newspaper work, but have procrastinated until now. My page was listed starting today.

It is quite doubtful I will take part in the forums — Photo Edge keeps me busy enough, and there's more I could do — but I will peruse them. In particular the technical stuff. But it is another way to get my work out there and connect with the photojournalism community at large.

Welcome. You are now one of the "elite." Ha.

I try to stay off the boards, too. I throw my two cents every once in a while.

I may not be elite, but then I do have my health (for the time being.)

I never had much interest in www.SportsShooter.com

What are the advantages of having a Sports Shooter account? Besides a little bit of publicity... if that! :)

It is a good, easy way to stay in touch with a variety of people with varying degrees of ability. It is tough to stay in touch with the photojournalism community at large, some of whom I have not seen in a long time.

It never hurts to keep the name out there and get a little promotion along the way.
