What Great Photographers Study

It would be difficult for me to care any less about U.S. pro football, but I’m fascinated by sports photography. Via Scott Kelby, I read David Bergman’s write-up of a recent trip to shoot several football games, including some emphasis on Brett Favre after he was traded to the Jets. Most interesting is that Bergman’s tale is essentially one of logistics – how to get his full kit, and himself, ’round the country and arrive in shooting shape. He seems to be a master, embodying the old military proverb that “Good generals study tactics. Great generals study logistics.”
