Three Photographers Using Nine Cameras at the NBA Playoffs

From the Maccreate.com website.

Last night I was a photo editor at the NBA Playoff game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Phoenix Suns. I’m a staff photographer at The Oregonian newspaper. It was my responsibility to import, select, caption and send images via ftp to the newspaper.

Here’s how it went.
