The official sports photographer on a field once used as farmland; now converted into enough Soccer fields to accomodate over 700 kids.

He got the good pics. Well, I got some good pics too, but I don't have permission or the inclination to post faces of children I don't know on the Internet so for now that left me with one image out of some sixty shots of a game.

In the 1930’s and 40’s commercial photographers were considered the artists of their times. The scene shifted in the 1950’s and 60’s and the photojournalists who worked for Life and Look magazines were the most celebrated photographic artists. Today photojournalists are no longer in demand to tell us about the world, because TV does it with the evening news. Mass media magazines now use photographers to illustrate stories on movie stars, sports and newsmakers and are no longer the creative galleries for commercial and editorial photography.
