Georgia Football: Why i don't get the paper anymore

Junior Kris Dunham, left, and freshman A.J. Green celebrate Dunham's 61-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter as the #1 Georgia Bulldogs beat Georgia Southern 45-21 on Saturday, August 30, 2008.

So i started this blog about a year ago for two reasons. One (as Diane from Blue Murder and Woody can attest) is to share Dropkick Murphys photos with the world. Second, and by far much more cathartic, is to share with the world good photos that otherwise never see the light of day thanks to ... well whatever reason why the designer chose not to use any of these.

I went to the store today to get another case of bottled water and looked and the paper and as usual, found myself unhappy with the sports front for football. It was okay but i thought my jube shot was better. All in all, it was a 95 degree game that felt way hotter than Vegas did. Its rather demoralizing to not see your work hit the newspaper after putting in an 11 hour day out in the broiling heat.

Oh yeah, good shout outs to Pouya Diant of the AJC whom i finally got to meet, whom is one hell of a shooter to try and keep up with and a lot of fun to enjoy sharing a photo suite. Also, Woody Marshall of the Macon Telegraph really earned his stripes after getting nailed by a Georgia Southern player, shearing his 400/2.8 lens in half. (He's okay)
