The recent entry comparing music to photography really resonated with me. I’ve commented on the photo/music connection before.

keep up all your efforts! i have come across your work on dane 101, and you’ve got some great shots on your stream. maybe we’ll cross paths at some concert or something one of these days…we’ll both have cameras.

None worth posting, at least, none that are of actual derby action. The portfolio I put together was one that I'm hoping to use to leverage a press pass of sorts so I can get access to take better derby pics. They've used a few of my shots on their webpage, so I'm hoping they'll be open to the idea. I also write for one of their sponsors, <a href="http://www.dane101.com/">dane101.com </a>(a madison group blog), so maybe that will help too. Back in the first season I could walk around and take pictures from a few different spots. Now you're lucky to be in one spot where you can see. There were people on the lockers on Saturday!<br /><br />I won't be at the party, but if you can get a good word for me in anywhere, it'd help. Free publicity for them!<br /><br />But back to the post... I'm actually fairly opposite to you then. Being a programmer, the knowledge about setting my camera comes fairly easily. So does using photoshop in a way (I'm the kinda guy that loves learning keyboard shortcuts so I can work faster). I never formally learned composition or been working with people who have, and I've only recently begun my informal education. I think it's going well, though. It's definitely fun.
