Weekly Phlogging, Week 6

We’re back! Well, not completely. I have some photos and will point you elsewhere for more.

Last week we debuted two new photographers, David Rich (at Mount Union/Ohio Northern) and Jonathan Larsen (Catholic/Washington & Lee), had covered two blow-out MIAC games (St. John’s/St. Olaf and Concordia-Moorhead/Hamline) Ashlee Carmody covered a double-header in Wisconsin, starting off in Appleton for St. Norbert/Monmouth and catching up with Larry Radloff for the Lawrence/Lake Forest nightcap. And we were deep in the heart of Texas for the Mary Hardin-Baylor/Hardin-Simmons which Josh Bowerman was in attendance for.

It was a busy weekend. I was up until 6am Sunday morning getting caught up on all the work from the five photographers plus the photos from Dave Sanders and myself at the St. John’s/St. Olaf game.

Before I show the photos, I have a request to make of the fans at the games: If you are on the sidelines, please move out of our way. We’re there to cover a game and we have permission to be on the sidelines. It’s all about safety and enjoying the game.

Thank you. Now on to the fun!

This week: Dave Sanders, Larry Radloff and I will be joining Keith McMillan in Whitewater for the UWW/UW-La Crosse game Saturday afternoon. Dave, Larry and I will be sandwiching the football game with Division I men’s hockey in Madison (we might have a few photos from that for you, too).

Next week I will be on the road with Keith in central Iowa; Also look for our new phlog page next weekend with working photo submissions and comments.

I’ve received many emails over the past year, a few asking the same thing: What do you make per game? or I want to shoot for D3sports, how much do you pay per game? I’d hate to disappoint those of you pondering the same thing but we are actually not paid for our time. It’s the love of the sport and the atmosphere that bring us out to the games. However, I am sure you have seen the photo galleries with prices underneath the photos. For each photo sold from a game the photographer recieves a commission. In addition each sale helps keep D3football, D3hoops and D3sports operational.

  1. The phlogging is definitely cool, I wish you had this when I played so the picture of me getting dragged by some Davidson TE that made the yearbook wouldn’t be the best record that I ever played.

    I am finding it interesting that as D3sports slowly fans out across the nation that it would be great if we had as many photographers in the East as we do shooters in the Midwest and vice versa. 🙂

    D3 is huge though, we may never have it totally blanketed.

    Keep the images coming. Will see you guys this weekend and next … assuming all my planes land on time and I am on them, etc.

  2. I’m working on that one Keith. If I ever leave the cozy confines of Minnesota I can grow the list of photographers. Each photographer has done a good job marketing when they have a chance to do it over the last few years. We’re working on it. I’d love to have twice the photographers in the east as I have in the midwest.

  3. That’s funny.

    I mean, there’s also Texas, Southern Cali and the Pacific Northwest. It’s a hard battle to win.

  4. Now if someone wants to give us a grant to let me travel for a year….. I can nix my problem and start networking… new school every few days 🙂

  5. I’ve done radio, but then I say I am a photographer and the jury is still out on that.

    If I ever get a day job, I’d love to branch out and cover some games away from here. That or stop burning my vacation days covering D1 hockey….

    It’s been a great year so far and I’m geeked up about Saturday already!

  6. Dave and I are en route right now. We’ve passed the beltway around Minneapolis/St. Paul and are coming up on the St. Croix River quite quickly. Lots of time to make up before we get to the hawkey game.
