I am a 23 year old photojournalist wanna-be. I work for a regional paper in Northwest Arkansas. I've lived here for 15+ years. I'm not a very interesting person, but interesting things seem to happen around me.In no particular order, my favorite things are dogs, people, cheeseburgers, being outside, and whiskey.

I really like your photography. I'm a big fan of sports photography, although i've never been that great at it. What kind of camera are you using, and are you doing any touch-ups with any photo editing program?

Joey,
I use Canon 1D bodies and canon lenses. Touch-ups are used very minimally, in accordance with the Associated Press' guidebook, meaning that manipulation beyond the original meaning of the photo is forbidden.
Most of the time, I am just toning, sharpening, and maybe some dodging and burning when necessary. Dodging is making an area lighter, burning makes an area darker. I use Photoshop for this work. The idea is to be able to take the original photo, put it side-by-side with the edited, and all you should see is that the edited photo has more "pop". It should NOT be a different photo.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, just let me know.
