Great interview. Keep moving forward Elsa as you have the right stuff and attitude. It's always motivating when an individual makes her or his mark in a competitive industry.
I've been an Elsa fan for along time because she's a great photographer who happens to be a female, not because she's a female who happens to be a great photographer. Her advice applies to ANYONE who want to do what she does. Why try to make a gender thisng out of it? She'd probably be the first to say "it's the work that counts, not the gender". Why are you tryin gto turn that around?
Elsa Garrison is indeed A One Good Photojournalist on Sports, from College Sports all the way to the Olympics. Garrison has did a Spectacular Work of doing Close Up Range and everything including the Super Bowl, the Summer and Winter Olmypics. Especially, the National Basketball Association (NBA). Keep up the Good Work, once and for all!!!
