Apparently they’ll give anybody–and everybody–a media credential these days. Don’t they know who I am?!

— August Miller on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics - No wonder they lost, he’s totally bored.
— Brian Nicholson on Kobe Bryant Arrives - Scott, this is an amazing, though chilling, frame.
— Trent Nelson on Accident investigation - I just want to say that I’m learning a lot from this coversation. Thanks everyone.
— Trevor Christensen on Questions questions - Huh…. Nice boom light. How much do you think the SLFD would charge to rent that bad boy out to drop a little light in a hard to get to place for an upcoming shoot?
— Bryan William Jones on Accident investigation - Great job Trent, way to find the angles.
— scott winterton on Utah vs. Georgia Gymnastics - Garry that’s one thing I see as a positive in all this. Though I’m not getting a day rate, it does at least open a few new doors to me that otherwise might not open. Even at the high school level of sports they require a UHSAA credential (different scenario, but the restricted access idea is the same) While I’m not banking on the idea of spec shooting as being my largest source of income, at least for me right now I see it as a step forward.
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions - A question I have is what about credentials? As a freelancer and especially doing spec shooting, it is so difficult to get credentials. Granted great photos may be had at events without such, but getting into the inner circle where the photos are is out. There’s also the cost of events, there are times one can’t afford the cost. I remember getting into many events just showing the press I.D., for instance the zoo. Great place to find a feature photo, but can’t afford the entrance fee now, and just to get a photo to add to the portfolio...
— Garry Bryant on Questions questions - Lol, the “no worries” was in direct reference to the no gf/wife/child/dependant thought. I have plenty of worries in my life Senor Smith. And I definitely understand the idea of not needing professional sports to make great photos. I shoot a lot of concerts, and I think some of my best images were from unknown artists at Kilby Court. And while the idea is true that you can make great images no matter what scene your in, (correct me if I’m wrong) the fact of the matter is that no matter what, even a great photo at a high school...
— Michael Mangum on Questions questions - Man, I do need your life you. No worries? You must have a good stock of Diet Coke. I’m jealous. Don’t worry. They’ll come if you decide to become a freelancer or you decide to get a girlfriend. Kidding aside, spec shooting is a bad idea. I tell kids in college it’s not. Why? It’s a means of shooting and portfolio building. Is it smart? No. But when you’re in college you have a miniature world at your disposal. No real life pressures or expenses. Basically you can do whatever you want. It’s a great time to...
