Day 47 (Thurs., July 15)

When it comes to working in the journalism field, you have to swallow your pride. You have to forget about your personal issues and cover the event at hand without any bias. This is a hard thing to do, but I believe that is the only way you can do your work without getting in trouble. Today I had to swallow my pride. I HATE BOXING! I hate it for what it's worth! I really don't like whole idea of two sweaty persons rubbing all on each other while trying to punch each other for the benefit of entertaining other people and, of course, for the benefit of the $$$$$. I had not shot boxing for that reason. However, being that I am trying to become a well-rounded photographer, I had to swallow that pride and forget about my issues before heading out to the arena. The two photos on this page show what kind of work I did on my first try at shooting boxing. Not bad, huh? One would think that I had shot boxing before because I got these photos. But, I guess when you are used to shooting other sports, you can just adapt those tactics to boxing and you find yourself dishing out a good boxing photo. Hence, not getting fired for sucking at this photography deal and being able to work through something I don't really believe in. Anyways. I hope you like these photos of men trying to be "cool" by kicking each other's butts!
