Way to go. I'm in the middle of a "will they - won't they" for a national level event contract myself.

Good luck with it.

He's only been shooting for a year on nights and weekends outside from his full-time job, basically a real newbie. He talked to the Distract 2 baseball administrator and they offer me the job. In turn I called Greg and asked him to help me as two photographers on opposite sides of the field, and four eyes are always better than going solo. A win-win situation!

Congrats, Jim.

It's also nice to see that you're helping your friend out as well with it.
