>Cole Makes the Statesman Journal

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>Carrie took Cole and Greta to her Aunt Ginger's halloween wedding. A friend of mine, Thomas Patterson who works at the Salem Statesman Journal was there to cover it for the paper. He ended up running a photo he shot of Cole taking photos with his own digital camera. I think he did a good job with it.

>The Glamorous Job of Sports Photography

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>As broke camp after sending photos from the bowels of Sun Devil Stadium, I looked out and saw a platoon of leaf blowers leaving the stadium. I was by far the last photographer to leave. I was encamped under the south bleachers sending off a pirated phone line owned the Arizona paper. I was there so late they were locking gates all around me to the point I was wondering if I would be able to escape.

>Cole and Greta Swing and Shoot

Cole and Greta needed a photo of themselves for a project at school. So, tonight I took them out in the backyard and shot Greta on the swing and Cole with his digital camera. I love over-acheiving as a parent. I can't wait to see their poster on the wall next to all the other crappy posters their classmates parent's slapped together. Is that so wrong?

>Wet Streets

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>I shot this from my car while illegally parked in the closed section of 13th Ave. Campus security had already called a tow truck. They let me slide, and I shot this photo.

>Dinner With Sports

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>When we arrived in Tempe, Arizona, last night to cover today's Oregon football game, we went directly to P.F. Changs. Ron Bellamy, our sports editor, held court, along with Rob Moseley, right. Other than the 90 minute wait, it was very satisfying. The woman on the left, is Nicole, Ron's son Jason's girlfriend.

>Garage Sale: Cheap But Not Free

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>We had a garage sale. No matter how ridiculously low we priced something, someone would low-ball us. That really put me in a mood. I had to split before I ran somebody off. We made some decent coin but there's still a lot of stuff left. If anyone out there in blog land needs boys and girls clothes in size six, let me know. I'll make you a helluva deal. Just don't low-ball me.

>Beer and Smoke

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>I shot this a few years back in Portland. It ran in U.S. News and World Report. With all the cities going smoke-free, this is something you won't see much anymore. Not that it's a bad thing. Shooting bars is a lot more comfortable for me now. I remember it being so smoky that my cameras would stink the next day from smoke. I would have to wipe them down with alcohol.

>The NPPA Flying Short Course

Added on by Thomas Boyd.

>Lui Kit Wong from Tacoma chats on the bed in Tony Overman's room Saturday night after program. Lui is one of the greatest newspaper sports photographers ever. He's one more Regional Photographerr of the Year awards than any other photographer in the country. He even won $70,000 for a photo he took of a high school high jumper. I was shooting the same event.
