My Random Thoughts and Photos

Champs!


Well, tonight was the final of the Big Sky Tournament and Montana won it all and a trip to the NCAA tourney. Here are a couple of jube shots from tonight. Funny thing happened today....before this tourney started, I sent e-mails to sports and photo editors offering coverage of thier team. Each answered with "no thanks, we'll use AP." No problem I answered each back, if you change your mind, I'll be here.......I was going to shoot this regardless for a new wire service called US PRESSWIRE and knew that the light in the old Colisieum sucked and sucked bad, like ISO1600 250th @ 2.8 bad, so I went in on Monday before the tourney and put lights up in the catwalk so that my photos would actually look good. Anyway, today right before I'm about to leave for the arena, I get a call from the sports editor at the paper in Missoula, MT asking me if I can shoot for them tonight because they were very dissapointed with the AP photos from the night before and wanted good art since it would be played real big (Montana going to the NCAA's is front page news in Missoula) the next day. So I shot the game and sent some nice photos to them.
