Follow these 12 steps and before you know it you'll be a credentialed photo-journo at a Motocross National near you - or, at least, well on your way towards achieving that goal.
Pit Row
I was surprised when I saw DDavis walking around in a photo vest. I even pointed him out to a couple other photogs and they couldn't believe it either. I worked my ass off, along with most other photogs, to get a photo pass for the first time last year, but I guess following Antipodean's 12 step process is a direct way in. Who knew?
What surprised me more is the fact that someone hired him so soon. He's only been shooting, what, 2-3 months tops?
Sorry Devin, but I know a lot of people who have photo talent that have been rejected, like Bauman, for years and to have someone come in within their first couple months of shooting just doesn't seem right.
On that note, get better at it. Maybe we'll be kicking our own ass' for saying this stuff in the future.
