Imperfect stranger. A slow gypsy. Pardon the ambiguity. In five words or less? A poet; painter; musician; artist; with a head for numbers.

Ball don’t lie!

Insane red card by a ref who had no clue the entire match.

If I could go back in time and communicate with this rookie offensive linemen and give him some pieces of advice this is what it would sound like🧵 👇

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet.

The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation
with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy.

There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one.

That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure.

"Student reporters are doing the life work."

@CourtneyRCronin & @PeterBurnsESPN were joined by @BRekosh_Student on Best Week Ever and discussed the importance of student media in college sports | @VCUAthletics

Really cool moment tonight postgame after VCU upset UNC. VCU head coach Phil Martelli Jr. made a point to shoutout the student reporters that made the trip.

Lots of great stuff this time of year, but this was a really awesome, genuine exchange.

A viewer named Erick Bryant reached out to @WGNNews to share his original song "Ice Man" on Caleb Williams and the #Bears late-game heroics. We've been singing it all week in the sports office--it slaps! Check it out.

Will Ben Johnson call a big man TD play tonight? If he does he’ll be feeding the city their third round of free hot dogs in this epic bears season. Send Ozzy Trapillo out for a pass!
