Another exciting assignment…….

I’ve even quiet trying……..  My friends think I have the most fascinating job in the world, and no matter how much I try to explain to them what it is “really” like they just refuse to believe me, so I’ve quiet trying.  Now don’t get me wrong, sometimes being a tech rep is really cool!  Shuttle launches, Air Races, and Air Shows are all a lot of fun!   Political Conventions, golf tournaments and football games, not so much.  The reason is the credentialing process.  At the good events you get to be a part of the action, but at many big national events like the Masters, or the BCS Championship, or the Super Bowl, you never get to see the field!  Don’t get me wrong, our job is to support the people that are actually working for a living, and for me, having once shot NFL a lot, I’m not all that disappointed. I’d rather be watching the big game on the big screen HD at home, but my friends just don’t believe me!

 

 

So I’ve taken the liberty of showing you what our work area is like at the BCS.  Do we get to watch the game, you bet, see below!!

 

Now, before you get the wrong idea, I work with great people like Jose’ Ramos and Francis Yeh at  this event, and the photographers, for the most part really appreciate our being here, and hey I can get close to the TV and see the game!!!  It’s just that my best football buddy, Sherelene, and my refrigerator are so far away!

 

But hey God has blessed me in so many ways, who’s complaining!  Hey was that a first down???!! Who has the ball???

 

Blessings,

    And the exotic places! And small closets, like at PRS last year!

      Yes, I’ve seen concrete block, grey painted, walls few are ever privileged to experience! Hey it’s a job that needs to be done, and I do love to think when you see the cover of sports Illustrated and ESPN the Magazine and you know you helped those folks get ready to shoot those images, you feel a little better about your service. God humbles us, and it is good for us! Everything He does brings us benefit, and I embrace that!

      Funny side note, after the game started we saw very few people, so we could actually watch the game and I did get see it on the big screen!!! I used a D600 and 70-300 to see it up close!

    I didn’t get to watch the game, either. We don’t have cable television so it wasn’t an option. From the reports this morning, we didn’t miss much. However, for the ‘Bama fans in the His Light group, I’ll go ahead and say it…. Roll Tide!
