SportsShooter Academy has officially begun.
The weather has been beautiful here in Orange County, nothing short of phenomenal. Everything seems to be cooperating with us, so far.
It's intimidating to be around so many talented photographers, but the experience of meeting some of my favorite photographers have been sobering.
They're human, too.
It's so easy to forget that everybody has a face, a voice, a personality, when all you have to go by is a name and some pictures on a website. It's kinda cool, actually.
So far I've had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business, and it's exciting to see the kinds of resources they have available to them. It's also interesting to really watch and get a feel for the kinds of ideas and things they look for just come to them like nothing.
I'm a bit of a pushover when it comes to portraits, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of them in my takes from SSAV because I could use all the practice I can get. Ditto with remotes.
For a lot more photos and probably more regular updates (every night, I'd guess), visit my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/biwamoto/
Quote for the Day:
Me: "I could get used to this"
Robert Hanashiro, USA Today and SSA Founder: "Let's see... A beautiful Olympic volleyball player for a model and a USA Today photographer for an assistant... You could get used to this...."

Word for the Day: Stunning - of striking beauty or excellence
