I found this link to a Microsoft site. It's a great article about SportsIllustrated and the work required to set-up for the Final Four.

Here is the story.

    I'm sorry but that is way too much work. I love nice sports shots, but what if there is a power failure?

    I'm guessing no b-ball either :D

    As for the effort, this is what gets you those really nice shots you see in sports magazines. I think it also gives you an idea of what it's like to be a professional sports photographer--it's not just showing up and pushing the shutter button bowdown.gif

    I know, they have to depress the remote plunger too!

    EDIT: Why all the stress about capturing the cover photo? It's SI. Are they really going to run something else that week?
