Chicago raised, Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls. White Sox suck! Florida living, Jags and Noles.

If the White Sox are looking for a new place to play I hear there is going to be a large plot of land available on the lakefront.

@kmeehan67 @SeanMichael870 @GaryCompton made me.

[William Darfler @WilliamDarfler]

@SeanMichael870 @kmeehan67 The fact that you have known me since 1982 and still talk to me makes me wonder about your sanity.

As technology advances quickly @delta continues to amaze me that their WiFi gets worse on every flight. Almost unusable.

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.

@CBSSportsCBB @UConnMBB Did anyone record Carlos Boozer Sr? I mean you showed him every two minutes until the end and now we can’t see this reaction?

I’m glad I live in Florida where Bad Bunny can’t get a driver’s license unless he speaks English.

@Reese10Angel Do I have to pay extra for this?
