SportsShooter Academy — April 8-12, 2009
One of the best parts about my job is being able to pass on things I’ve learned to those who have a hunger to get better.
So I’m excited to announce that I will be teaching at the sixth Sportsshooter Academy, being held in Southern California from April 8-12.
This is a five-day, intensive workshop where shooters have the opportunity to get hands-on instruction while shooting a series of NCAA Division I sporting events. As well, there will be coverage of non-college sports such as boxing, beach volleyball and horse racing.
Sportsshooter founder Robert Hanashiro has invited me to be an instructor in the past, but the schedules have never worked out until this year.
While I’ve taught at larger workshops, the chance to work in smaller groups with more personal attention to students is a chance I didn’t want to pass up again.
There are still a few openings for the Academy, which is being underwritten by Nikon,, with additional sponsorship from Think Tank Photo, and Samy’s Camera,.

Southern California, here I come!

Hi Rod,
I don’t have another email address for you other than the Times, which bounced back, so hopefully this works.
I’m following up on the plans for a sports photo workshop(s) here for the student newspaper editors. I would like to wait until that Nikon equipment arrives so we can build it around maximizing that gear. Unfortunately I just found out yesterday that the equipment, which I requested late November, is just now being ordered. Then it’s a matter of waiting for B&H to fill the order, get it here, the Media department to tag it and inventory it, and then release it to the students.
Could be a couple weeks; could be a month. How are you fixed on time? I’m thinking maybe we should schedule something in early February?
Thanks much,
Michael Parks
