Seriously! Not an April fools day gag! :D

I worked with Sportraits (http://www.sportraits.com/) and shot an entire Little League of 65 teams! I was shooting individual portraits, and last time I looked at the photo numbers before we finished, it was about 513. That doesn't include working the other camera when the other individual shooter had to take a "potty" break.

It was fun, but I am tired. I was up at 3:30 am to be on location by 6:30 am with the first team at 8am. We wrapped it up by 2pm.

All in all, it was an experience. Wind, rain, soaking wet shoes, and uncooperative kids made this April Fools day one to remember! hehe

I used the company camera.

And if I could find out how to transfer pics off my Motorola Razr V3 phone, without spending $30 to do it, I could at least share the two pics that I took. :confused:

Dat's easy. Since the RAZR just uses a standard mini-USB jack, instead of one of the stupid proprietary Motorola jacks, you probably already have the cable you need (it's what most of the digital cameras come with).

Then grab an old version of mobile PhoneTools (BVRP Software gave away version 2.0 and earlier for free, when they licensed version 3.0 to Motorola... so you can usually still find pre-3.0 versions for freeware download... and they should work just fine for transfering pics), or install and use the Motorola PST (Phone Support Tool)... you should be able to find version 6.7 on the 'net for free. Less glitzy GUI (much!)... but it'll get the job done (plus a whole lot more... like flashing your firmware, etc, if you so desire).

The pics just don't look as good as they do on the small RAZR display, though :(

that still looks like a pretty good pic for a phone though :)
