  the exciting parts happen in a game.

Equipment

• Hes shot all of his sports with Nikon and Canon
  digital SLR cameras since 2000. He started with
  Nikon film cameras when his career began in 1976
  because that's what most newspapers supplied.
  Nikon digital SLRs were used from 2000 until
  about the middle of 2004 when he switched over to
  Canon. Only a couple of pictures in the early
  2000's were shot on film when the single digital
  camera that he was issued was in for repairs.
