[Barry Bonzack]

Although I have other duties when at competitions, I have a photography hobby that I have not had much time for this semester. In high school I took volunteer pictures for the local newspaper, and was on a photjournalist for my school newspaper my sophomore year, and head photographer for the yearbook my Junior and Senior years. Last semester I volunteered my services for the Harmony High yearbook for sporting events in their transition of replacing me.

How prominent is your role as a photographer on your team?

I now hand off my camera to another student, I am too busy mentoring and coaching. However, last year I went to Houston with team 1083 to be their photographer, it was fun. I went to Atlanta the past two years without my team and I just took as many pictures of the Florida teams as I could.

What do you use?
Nikon D100 and telephoto lens

What subjects are you good at shooting?
What subjects do you prefer to shoot? (Robots on field, Candids, group photos, etc.) Sports is my favorite subject, especially football. (Yes, I have been run over once. Fun story behind that one) But I have taken photojournalism on most all topics.


When at competitions, where do you shoot from?
Stands, Sidelines, Pits

Anything you'd like tips with? Don't be afraid of what others think of someone there with a camera, and (Off the record especially for FIRST events) for the best pictures you may need to sneak past a couple security guards..

*EDIT*: WILL YOU BE IN ATLANTA?

Yes, I will mostly be in the 1604 pit, if not check the 1390 pit.
