Teigen 0 #1 March 20, 2009 So what do you all do for a living? I know some of you are able to live off of jumping, but what about the rest of ya? Im a freelance photographer, currently working for Scanpix covering sports and news and whatnot. I started working for them in January, after a 4 year period on my local newspaper. And im really happy, knowing that this is a place i would like to stay for a while, having the opportunity to travel and see the world. Im really looking forward to this summer! being in a new job, and enjoying my first full season of skydiving! I feel really fortunate to be able to do two things that i really really enjoy! Im covering both the Extreme sports week and the World Base Race this summer! so if you are attending either of them, hit me up! But enough about me! what do YOU guys and gals do? Oh, here's a photo from work, just chillin before a game of soccer.. (notice my strategically placed tonfly sticker) Click me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
