9 Inning Photography

The Cross Country team was all smiles as many PRs were achieved today. The team is peaking at the right now. The entire gallery of photos can be found on the 9 Inning Photography website. (Link in bio).

Covered a college cross-country meet for the first time in 15 years. Had a lot of fun getting out to cover more Bismarck State College Mystics athletics. https://9inningphotography.smugmug.com/2023-Sports-Photos/Cross-Country-College/Marauders-Mystic-Invite/

The summer is coming to a close but there is still plenty of things to be out photographing. I am making some changes to 9 Inning Photography. First is I now have a twitter (or X) account now dedicated to just the photography. The handle is . The other change is I'm going back to trying to sell photos again starting in a month or so. The cost of driving to events and the time I put in is really forcing me to go back to needing to sell photos to cover expenses.

It has been about 4 months since I left the Bismarck area so I needed a few days out of town. The family went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park in Western North Dakota and had a lot of fun seeing the animals in the snowy backdrop.

Update on my photo and game coverage policies. I love getting out to games, but the rising cost of travel (especially due to the distance I have to cover in North Dakota and the Great Plains region) & the time it takes me away from family I'm changing my requirements for when I will go to games. To attend games one of the following must be met:

1. Hired to take photographs by a player, parent, coach, school, tourney director or other individual at specific game/event.
2. Large tournaments that give me access and allow me the right to promote and sell photos and action shot packages.
3. Any team my two daughters play on.

Hopefully everyone understands this change and the reasoning. Getting out to games has always been a joy but paying for gas, admission (for some teams), and the overall time demand makes this decision one that has to be made.
