Q & A with Rangers photographer

As some of you know, I have my own Texas Rangers blog. I started it up just to vent my thoughts and feelings about the latest Rangers game or happening.  It's become quite consuming and rewarding, and it it certainly cathartic for me as I lost my Rangers buddy a few years ago.  Recently, I joined a blog network and am trying to think of ways to fill off-days on my blog, so I decided to do a series of question and answers with some of the people I've met through my Ranger fandom.  I've started with my friend and Rangers photographer Brad Newton.  If you get a chance, hop on over to my site and check it out

Thanks!!

P.S. If for any reason this isn't allowed, my apologies to Adam and my permission to delete this fanpost.

Very

Well done. I wasn’t even aware of a team photographer, and your insights into his life are flat out good reporting. Kudos.

Brad does amazing work

And he’s very humble and generous as well. I cannot even begin to put a value on the Rangers things he’s given me.

Shameless self-promoting...

Well done.

I'm not very good at self-promotion

But I thought some might find this interesting.

Very impressive Baseball's Girlfriend!

Aren’t you just Miss Ranger, petting Kam Loe’s snake one day and hanging out with the Ranger photographer the next. GOOD STUFF! REC.

I've never seen a pitcher with "bone spur" issues throw 96 mph. The only spurs I'm aware of are the spurs that Wash has buried in C J's ass as he rides him. I love ya C J but welcome to Wash's DOGHOUSE.

That's some high praise

I can’t pitch, though. Or play Guitar Hero. BGL still has me beat in a lot of areas.

Neither can he (rimshot)

Heh

The part about Kam’s snake sounds way dirty. But, yes, Ranger fandom has blessed me with some amazing experiences and friends.

Keep up the great work BBIMB! I put it on my favorites… :)
