    a long time ago.....when our county had access to police and fire dispatches, a "known" idiot heard of an accident on the main highway. what he did was to descend downhill on a slope nearby the accident scene and start to take pictures....the cops questioned him and he told them he shot for the "HA". They followed up on that and found out that he was just an ambulance chaser and did NOT work for the paper. The editor found out, and was very upset.....enough that he ordered city desk and the photo gang NOT to accept any of this dude's stuff if he does send anything in. On the flipside, I also do similar BUT know the laws AND respect them.....thats why that newspaper's photo editor favored me because I dont do dumb things!

    No. He's talking about the media pass that gets you on the sideline to take pictures. Do not post a picture of that card on social media. People can copy it and get on the sideline to take pictures illegally.

    The Live Content Correspondent (LCC) program takes NFL fans on social as close as they can get to the NFL without wearing a helmet. This year due to Covid we capture content from the stands and get it out for fans on Social. Know that not a super long answer hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

    On a college game a while back.....seconds BEFORE the end of game which the home team was about to win the game, a photographer from the local daily actually RUNS into the field to get his shot......but then, the college coach shoves him back but the coach's asst physically shoves him, making him stumble and fall over, probably damaging his photo gear. In my conclusion, I would say WAIT TIL THE GAME IS OVER or at least the team starts to scramble the field, and only THEN do you rush into the field to grab your shots. For the first answer, he is absolutely correct!!!! you post your NFL credentials online, a crafty person can use that design and falsely create bogus NFL credentials so when an amatuer wants to go to any NFL game, he/she just "flashes" the credentials and hope officials dont check their list of legit media. ONE MORE THING.....especially if you are a guy shooting a game, you probably will have women spectators "checking you out" just because they are in the stands and YOU are on the field......CONCENTRATE on the game/event.....thats your bread n butter $$$$!!! women wooing you in their "web" will only make you LOSE your $$$$.....
