Express Action Sports

Action and Adventure games are better.

God of War series
Heavenly Sword
Jak and Daxter series
Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Metal Gear Solid series

All of the games that I listed are action/adventure games and they will be better than any Sports game.

I don’t know how people that play sports games can buy a game like Madden 08′ and basically buy the same game next year (Madden 09′) with a few new features… it’s just a waste of money. At least with Action/Adventure games, each game is a "new" journey, a "new" adventure and a "new" experience.

I’m just finishing up high school and would like to pursue this career. I snowboard, skateboard, kite board, long board, and have surfed before. I love extreme sports and would like to make it a career.
I love the thrill and would not be afraid to get into the action.

That’s awesome. I hope you keep this passion and continue to pursue this. Many give up. I, myself, am trying to be a professional photographer. Anyway, the first practical thing to do would be to get yourself started with a DSLR, the best the budget can get. Shoot everything you possibly can. Once you feel comfortable with a DSLR it’s time to move to more advanced things such as getting better lenses, understanding your style and working with it. Every pro-photographer has a certain signature-style. Just a tip for future purchases; you wanna buy telephoto lenses (fancy term for close-up zoom) that have low f stop. This will give you a great depth of field effect. There’s a Canon 75-200 mm (I think?) that costs about $160. It’s a great lens to familiarize yourself with zoomed shots. Needless to mention you’re gonna need a good tripod. Photography is an expensive hobby and you have to invest a lot in yourself in order for you to build a great portfolio for clients to look at. Start documenting your work in a free wordpress blog. If the budget suffice then get your own domain. It’s a fun journey.

Good luck, friend. 🙂
