    If you arent doing it already, I suggest you sell some of your photos to the press or sports magazine.
    It's very good quality, they will be glad to have off court photos in addition to theirs cos journalist have to cover many events, they cant be in the stadium everyday.

    Your English is good, you can do a small write-up too - if you feel unsure, gimme the points I'll do a jounalistic slant for you, in appreciation for all the hard work you do for BC. I'm a bit rusty though. So next time you go for tourneys, you get to earn a bit too for your sweat and toil.

    Dont get offended :D, I really think your photos are good.

    very very quiet day today. even the journalists here are wondering what to write as there are very little exciting things to write. "no fights, no bad calls, nothing."

    slow day, no motivation. i was just mainly sitting there watching matches. most matches are not even camera worth at this point!

    GGSally showed up with a few friends, some are even from GGBC back in bay area.
