Hi Folks,
As always your kind comments on Scott's photography make me feel even 
prouder! Damn he's good and it doesn't matter what sport it is. :-)

 A side note;

I had always taken his older brother with me when shooting pro football 
games because Scott was still to young. However his time came and I gave him 
a motor driven Leicaflex, one roll of B&W film and a 250mm lens.

He shot the 36 frames, remember this is his first time to actually stand on 
the sidelines and shoot,  we sold 8 of them to the football club and wire 
service! :-) Born talent!:-)

I'm saving the e-mails from you good folks as a block and forwarding them to 
him later today as a kind of "warm you up my son!"  I know he's reached 
about the "dragging his butt point" and they'll give him a big lift as they 
finish this last week of the Games on Saturday.

Thanks folks,
ted
