SPORTS

During sporting events, my bag full of gear hangs on my shoulder and threatens to snap my collarbone in half. I'm probably the funniest looking thing on the sidelines and more entertaining to watch fumble with lenses than the high schooler's fumbling with the footballs. Anyway, it's not as bad as I thought it would be.


"You work for Fandy?"
"Yeah I work for the Register."
"So is that what you want to do when you grow up? Photography?"
"Yeah, but I'm kinda already grown up."
"Aren't you, like, 16?"
"No, I'm 20."
"Can I get your number?"
"Aren't you, like, 16?"

I don't hate shooting sports like I thought I did. I just hate the equipment making me look smaller than I really am.
