I usually have been writing articles about my daughter's club soccer team and submitting them to the local community supplement in the "Orange County Register" newspaper (California). I've had team photos published when they win tournaments, which is no big deal--team photos make it all the time.
However, I decided to submit an "action" shot and lo-and-behold, they published it! I submitted three photos to the sports editor, so he could choose one (or none). In order to not seem biased, only one of them was of my daughter. Without any coercion, he happened to pick the one of my daughter.
Also, there is a chance I may be asked to go to other sporting events around town to shoot (peewee football, 'lil league baseball, etc).
Hey, it's a start! :-)
Edit: Changed link to point to my DPC porfolio, now that I'm a true member!
