Good point Bruce.
I still do event work, but no more on site printing. I had a young lad
do that for me an i just shot the pictures.
Now, with me having to do both, by the time the season gets near the
end, i'm pretty much fed up with the proccess.I tend to put of doing
prints till the last minute type of thing.
Thank the stars, i dont do this year round or i'd be cukoo.:-)

Quoting Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
One thing that has not been directly said here is that digital has
opened up a new direction for photography - that is - event
photography. This includes speculation shooting of various events
along with contracted work. In the past, the cost of shooting was
rather prohibitive and so not too much was done. Now, shooting
digital, photographers can thoroughly cover an event (myself included)
that would not have considered it using film.
Now, the downside to doing that is the possibility of burnout. You do
too much of this type and you just get tired of the massive flow of
images and the drudgery that follows. > --

Shel, I'm sorry that I feel insulted when people say "what you do is
not art, it is binary, it is product, it has no heart or soul". Am I
wrong to feel that?
I've had numerous responses now that all add up to "just shut up and
take the insult, and don't you dare respond back in your own defense".
