But sports photography isn't something you just pick up overnight. You can't do it once a year for fun and expect to do a good job. And I take pride in what I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation - not where the action is taking place, but where it's going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they're going to be.
Being a celebrity you always get really good seats to sporting events but you never get as good seats as the photographers get. And I really love sports. So one of the scams I have going now is I want to learn sports photography so I can get better seats at a sporting event.
Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.
I'm not getting involved in sports anymore, except on film. I'm not agile unless a camera's going.
And I'm a pretty avid photographer, I've been into photography for years now, so I try to spend some of my free time with that.
Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.
I've been working with photography for many years.
I love doing motion pictures and expect to be as busy as I want to be in them.
Photography is a demanding action sport. The light can change so quickly. I often find myself sprinting so that I can catch the perfect light falling on a photogenic subject.
Photography is a hobby born out of my time in undergrad at USC. It is more of a pleasurable hobby, a stress reliever. I don't consider it a professional endeavor like acting or directing.
