Continue......the guys from the press rushed to their respective newspaper HQs to process the images, select the best for the next morning....If I also tried to cover like them, nobody wud have accepted my photos since their press-men were already there.
After few days, i lined up my pictures, selected the best half a dozen photos and prepared a photofeature with 500 words of text, all high-lighting the human side of the day, including the football match photo....I contacted one my friend photo-editor and he accepted to publish it as a review on the next sunday's foto-feature plus i kept it for the next year, before beginning of the annual event of the same....again it was published as a start-up with two newpapers and a magazine and brought me some good amount of money.
Not necessarily u have high end camera...but any camera with good contrast and pin-sharp photos will do. In photojournalism, round the year u get photographs of different events in ur town or nearby city plus several local festivals.....where leisurely u can do ur job and present it at the appropriate time to the newspapers, magazines and fetch a good amount to further ur hobby and become a known photo-journalist. Then u will find calls from newspapers and magazines without ur efforts to reach them.....and in due course of time, u get friendly with them and they treat u as a part of their journal.
