Ted,

All those years I shot NFL, MLB, NCAA and NBA I never really thought 
about the game...just concentrated on getting the best images possible.  
As you know when shooting things like that it  is all instinct and not a 
lot of conscious thought goes into it.  Looking back on images I made in 
the 90's I now sometimes think "How did I do that?"  I remember the 
games and the shots and remember how, while things were wild game side, 
things seemed "slow" to me. 

Guess it is a zen thing and can't really be explained to those who have 
not "been there done that".

I have had people think they have to stop and pose for me...I just laugh 
and say Sid Bream did not stop and pose for me when he slid home to win 
the 1991 NLCS and you do not either!

BTW thanks for the package the other day.  Everyone loves it. :)

Harrison.
