DOHA, QATAR - DEC. 8: Athletes hurdle the water jump and splash the photographers during the Men's 3000m Steeplechase Final at the 15th Asian Games Doha 2006.
When I was still shooting sports, I was actually a pretty antisocial guy once the actual event started. It's not that I didn't like people -- but I never wanted to be in a photo like the one above: huddled with the rest of the photographers.
I was always the person who tried to be where no one else was. Sure, there are always preferred spots and positions -- but when those spots get popular, you will likely end up with a photo someone else also will have. The only way I ever could compete with shooters who were better than me was to have something different.
Change the game. Different is good.
To see the rest of the images from this week in sports, go to AOL Sports: Did You See That?, and see the week in NFL photos, go to NFL - Week In Photos - AOL Sports.
