Shots from the 2007 Dexter Jackson Classic are up on the site.
To say I am disappointed in myself over the quality of these shots is an understatement.
Ian was unable to shoot the show, and as we’d discussed the possibility of him contracting out to me in the past, we thought we’d give it a try.
Unfortunately, I was already exhausted, and you can see that in some of the shots– it’s camera blur, not motion blur. To complicate matters, UNF is a dark pit, and someone apparently had an uncontrollable urge to fiddle with the few lights that *were* there.
But most of all, I wasn’t shooting the way *I* normally would have– I was trying to shoot what someone else wanted, and within those constraints, I didn’t do a very good job.
As if that weren’t enough, due to muddled communication I found myself an uninvited guest at the after-show dinner. Had the shots been magnificent works of art, I wouldn’t worry so much about it, but as of now I feel like a moocher.
So I think we’re going to can the concept of “contracting out” for now.
I did better at the Floridas, and those shots will be up soon.
