A Day in the Life of a Sports Photographer
Before the Game Let's paint a picture for a moment. You’re a photographer for the Springfield Thunderbirds. You arrive to the arena six hours before the game with $5,000+ worth of camera gear, your MacBook Pro and enough coffee to fuel an entire Fortune 500 company. You get inside and immediately begin working on gameday graphics, pregame videos and promotional photos with the rest of the media team. You each focus on one task while bouncing your ideas off of each other. The team broadcaster is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. The media room looks like Wall Street right before closing. Tonight is a promotion night which means the energy in the building will be high. You have only seen the beginning of what I like to call exciting chaos , or as most people call it working in sports. Here are the @kfc Colonel's Keys to the Game as we take on the @AHLBruins in our annual Blast From The Past Night! #RiseUp // #SPRvsPRO pic.twitter.com/Z1d0Yh1Zdt — ThunderbirdsAHL (@ThunderbirdsA
