Saturday's in the newspaper industry are hit-or-miss a lot of the time. Certain Saturdays are pretty open, maybe one to two assignments per photographer. Today was a big day. By the end I worked a total of 11 hours(thank god for OT) and shot on six different assignments. These are the pictures from five of the six from today....one assignment was for advance....These are not all winners...but on a six assignment day you need to pick your battles and budget your time on assignments.
