How prominent is your role as a photographer on your team?
As prominent as I make it; I am the only real "photographer", but I typically hand off the video to others. Robot comes first though; I'm on pit crew, so fixing breaks is more important than taking pictures.


What do you use?
A bunch: Most standard are my Nikon D70 DSLR with an array of lenses and my N65 for 35mm. I also have a point and shoot 4MP digital cam and a leika SLR if I decide to bring them. Currently am working on getting access to a friend's digital backs, in which case I'll be photographing atlanta at 20+ megapixels.

What subjects are you good at shooting? (Robots on field, Candids, group photos, etc.)
I'm pretty good at everything, really; strongest point is probably candids/portraiture, but I've got a good eye for most of the varied subjects mentioned above.

What subjects do you prefer to shoot?
Canidids- Video is for robot images, I like to document the experience that everyone has.

When at competitions, where do you shoot from?
Depends on my time/energy-I'll probably mostly do field-side at atlanta, assuming we get a press-pass again; the ability to help work on the robot on the way out is valuable.

Anything you'd like tips with?
Not really- I'm pretty adept with my equipment. I can answer questions if anyone has them, though.

*EDIT*: WILL YOU BE IN ATLANTA?
Sure will- feel free to swing by 1394's pits and say hello.
