Forced to take a semester of photojournalism (the best course in my college career), I became a sports photographer. Don't laugh too hard with the hair and shoes, remember these are from the 1970s. These were shot on Kodak 35mm movie film, I believe it was 5247 and pushed to iso 800.

    Thanks, this is one of my all time favorites. I was an athlete back then, so it helped me anticipate the shots. And yes, everything was manual back then (of course, I still shoot everything manual!)
