Decision Magazine hired me to follow UGA head coach Mark Richt. I was asked to also get photos of his wife Katharyn Richt.
If it worked out I was to try and get photos of them together. That never happened, but I stuck with the coach and his wife the day.

I arrived really early and met Katharyn early sitting in the stands.

While this will win no awards it is starting with the safe shots to be sure I had some good expressions.

I liked this photo much better even tho I cannot see her face as well she is doing what she does every game to help support the team and Mark.
The magazine picked that photo and one more of Mark interacting with one of the players.

Now at this point in the season the top running back in the country is UGA #3 Todd Gurley. I really tried to get a photo of him with the coach. The best I did that day was this shot, but the ƒ/5.6 was too shallow to show Mark clearly in the photo in the background.

Mark Richt is on the far right with headset. Well I just missed it. Just a few days later the suspension by the NCAA came out so he was definitely out of the magazine piece. It would have pulled the attention away from the storyline.
Here are the selects that I gave the editor.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
