ROBERT SEALE and BRIAN BAHR have both left their sports photography jobs to embark on new careers -- while both continuing to do some freelance work for their previous employers. Seale had spent ten and one-half years on the staff of the Sporting News, traveling all over America covering major sports events but also producing memorable portraits of many of the nation's top athletes. He will be freelancing in order to photograph more than sports. Brian was one of the early staff photographers of Allsport before it was acquired by Getty Images and became one of the most prolific shooters for Getty in recent years. He will continue to do an occasional assignment for Getty while pursueing an MBA degree.

Neil revisited many of the major sports events he had covered over a lifetime during the 2005 year and the book features his earlier pictures, some 40 years earlier, against the same event a year ago. Leifer will be a special guest lecturer, telling how the project was produced and photographed, at the 2007 Sports Photography Workshop.
