I think there were seasons that Vermes didn't sub. Seriously.

Backe was still better than Nicol or Vermes.

I'm shooting Track events for Miami at this week's ACC Track & Field Championships at Wake Forest's Kentner Stadium. #onassignment.

The NCAA Women's Tennis Tournament started yesterday. I was at Ambler Stadium in Durham working for Old Dominion against FAU and Bryant as they faced Duke.

I spent four days over the weekend shooting at the ACC Men's Golf Championships for eight of the 15 schools - including multiple days for NC State, Duke, Georgia Tech, and semifinalist Clemson

I spent four days over the weekend shooting at the ACC Men's Golf Championships for eight of the 15 schools - including champion Virginia, runner-up North Carolina, Boston College, and Southern Methodist. (1/2)

On Wednesday I was shooting for Clemson, North Carolina, and Virginia at the ACC Women's Golf Championships at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Today's client was Clemson Women's Golf as they played their practice round at Sedgefield in Greensboro for the ACC Women's Golf Championships.

I spent Saturday and Sunday shooting men's golf for North Carolina and Michigan State at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate.

Shot men's golf for Lipscomb and NC State at the Stitch Intercollegiate in Raleigh today.

Big East is about to become the big dog of Men’s Basketball as the power conference schools will have most of their salary cap money earmarked for football.

Not really.

Shot the Bush Cup men's golf competition between NC State and Army West Point earlier today for State. It featured four doubles matches in the morning and eight singles in the afternoon.

We all get turned down for credentials. Our outlets get turned down for credentials. It happens. If you want to do international and professional sports media stuff, you have to take a long term view. I kept a full-time job my first 15 years as a pro photographer. But I was a paid photographer.

Then don't complain about an international sport governing body not considering you media. You're trying to have it both ways. If you want to shoot for free, then go for it. If you want to make money - even on the side with a full-time job, then do that, but accept the limitations of others.

Fair.

I'm not shooting each and every Gold Cup and WCQ like I used to because of the economics. I have a paycheck lined up 20-25 days/month shooting sports. And I still get called to shoot international soccer events - for money. Demand compensation. If they want your photos, they'll pay for them.

I'm a recognized MLS/WUSA original and I've worked multiple World Cups. But the world and industry have changed. If you're providing photos in exchange for a credential with the hope of sales later, you're part of the problem even if you don't see that.

You're only willing to shoot high profile international and professional sports? You want to do this full-time or not? If you're in the U.S, there are thousands of collegiate teams of all sports with money to burn and noone to take photos for them. All you gotta do is send an email and ask.

Yesterday I shot Marquette men's golf's practice round at Irish Creek in Kannapolis.

As opposed to offering a bribe to Trump loophole?

Today I shot women's lacrosse for #1 Boston College as they jousted with #2 North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

I shot softball for North Carolina last night as they made the short trip to Durham to take on Duke.

On Tuesday I was at Koskinen Stadium for the #17 Brown Bears as they fell to host #11 Duke 14-13 in a back and forth women's lacrosse match.

On Monday afternoon I was at Beechwood Country Club shooting the Chowan Intercollegiate men's golf tournament for Barton College.

On Monday morning I was at Ironwood Golf and Country Club shooting women's golf for South Carolina and Boston.

Ah yes. GOP, the party of small government, free markets, and deregulation. Right?

I don't really watch TV with ads anymore. I know I've seen a few with Pulisic and some of the newer WNT players, but nothing I can recall for sure.
