Hey guys I'm Brett or theman1050 and I'm a journalism student at Stony Brook University in New York, USA. I have been shooting regularly on assignment for various newspapers and for my college's athletic department. I specialize in sports photography but am always trying new kinds, like landscapes, portraits and event photography. My father and grandfather were both photographers so I have a lot of random photo equipment laying around that I like to try out. I love television and watch as much good tv as I can. I also enjoy playing video games and watching sports. I don't know if we're posting our gear here (some forums do, some don't) but I'll put it out there so people can ask about how I like my gear. Nikon D7000 35 1.8G DX 50 1.8D 70-300 VR Cameras I've fooled around with: Bronica 645-a medium format film camera I love to play with Nikon D40 Nikon D70 |

Welcome Brett you certainly didnt pick an easy area to make your money in. Photojournalism is a tough business these days. |

It is really tough. Things are promising (and being an hour from NYC doesn't hurt) but I'll likely end up in sports marketing or some kind of strategic communications job. |

Hi Brett, it's nice to know a little about you, you must enjoy taking photo's and combining it with sport. I find it very rewarding capturing 'the moment' in sport. Although I have no real interest in sports myself I do find it exciting and a real challenge, I get totally immersed in a game and love to follow the spectacular players waiting to grab 'that shot'. |
