I was looking through some old back-up CDs and came across this scan someone sent me of one of my photos that was in the San Francisco Chronicle. This photo of Ricky Carmichael at Hangtown was taken with a $300, Olympus E-100RS that had something like 1.2-Meg resolution. The photo not only ran in the Chronicle, but was also Yahoo Sports Photo of the Day!

I always liked the shot because you can see that every eye at Hangtown was on RC.

Just goes to show you don’t aways need the top-dollar gear to capture the moment.
