Day #1. Thursday:
Day #2. Friday: Here's a few of my favorites from Day #2 here in Binghamton. *(Can't believe I'm blogging at 2AM in my hotel room...):
Examples of why I thrive on utilizing a remote camera. For the second day in a row I set-up a low angle remote for the hammer thrower yesterday and here with the 2000 meter Women's Steeplechase. Got lucky to have my subjects win big in their events, and even set new ESG records:
Day #3. Saturday: Check out of hotel in Sayre, PA where I've been the last 2 nights, 45 miles away from the college & media center. (that's what happens when you're finally confirmed to cover the 5-day event just the week before; where upwards of 6,000 athletes and their families, officials, and media flood into town. All the local hotels are booked far in advance. Made online reservations for tonight at a closer hotel, as many athletes and families leave on Saturday. That alone will eliminate the nearly 100 miles I've to drive to/from the main college campus & venues. Sent two feature images to the paper this AM before leaving for more track & field events, including a local pole vaulter, weightlifting tonight, and whatever else our sports writer can drum up. Wanted to post these two images from yesterday here, as they're the type of images that can be used as a "teaser" image on the top of the page, etc. More this afternoon. Thanks for looking. -cg.:

More from Day #3. Saturday:
"Oh yea, any day I can work in shorts (and sometimes sandals) is usually a prelude and certainly a big help in making good images. Especially in covering outdoor sporting events in late July..."
"Been going early all week, and definitely getting the uniform dirty..." -cg.
