Let's have some bright shows!

Midsummer, West Side, are great shows but they are very difficult to shoot because they just have way too many night scenes. Now because I've done over 200 shows, I know how to deal with it but it keeps me one my toes. I only get once chance to capture that special moment and when it's gone it's gone. Once thing I've come to realize over the years, photojournalism is one of the easiest professions in the world. You can take thousands of photos and only the top ten will ever get published. I don't have that luxury. I have to make every photo count in the hopes that somebody will buy enough of these photos for me to be able to make a living. That's not to say that I don't take extra photos and that I don't edit it down to the best. I do. But the big difference is I have 80 to 90 percent of my photos presented to the public, the photojournalist only 5 to 10 percent. Just to give you an example, when I covered high school sports I would take two rolls of film (48 images) and then 1 to 3 of them end up in the newspaper. For those young folks out there. Before we had digital cameras we had film cameras.
