Photographer Jeff Cable has had a front-row seat at the past seven Olympic Games--although his seat is cluttered with cameras, lenses, and laptops.  As the photographer for the United States Olympic Committee, Jeff has an all-access pass to any event he chooses.  In this episode, he shares: 

• how he edits 2600 images down to 10 in a matter of minutes
• how social media has changed the pace of his job
• how he stays focused (literally and figuratively) from 9:00 am to 2:00 am every day for nearly three weeks straight
• what Simone Biles and her teammates were talking about in those minutes before the world knew why she pulled out of the Tokyo 2020 Games
• the best angles to shoot a water polo game
• how photographers deal with bathroom breaks (or the lack thereof) in the middle of certain events
• the importance of mastering the Olympic shuttle bus system
• and much more.

There's a whole lot more to photographing Team USA than just settings and shutter speeds.  It's an exciting, exhausting gig, and Jeff approaches each Olympics like it's his one and only.
