Green Bay had a forecast of minus 2 for the game, last I saw. These photogs need to be prepared as though they were in the arctic circle, warming and rotating batteries and such.

That is a truly inspiring article. Thanks for posting it Abel.

Sometimes I get embarrassed by how truly "soft" that I have become as I age, and in moments of sniveling and whining, I have to remind myself to "suck it up!" and get on with the job. makes for better stories afterwards. When the elements in a shot are such that it forces the viewer to see the harshness and cruelty of the moment, I think it truly makes the image all the more visually impacting.
