After making my national debut on ESPN last year and subsequently admitting that I don’t actually like shooting sports, I thought I was done with it… until I became Chief Photographer/Photo Editor for USC’s El Rodeo yearbook. (Yes, we have a yearbook.)
Besides being ridiculously busy during deadlines, one of the perks of the position is that I get to go to all the away football games. All airfare, hotel, rental car and miscellaneous expenses paid. Tempe, AZ a few weeks ago; San Francisco for the Cal game at AT&T Park next week; with Notre Dame (get to stay in Chicago), Colorado and Oregon coming up!
