http://buffzone.com/staff/cliff-grassmick/<p><strong>Bio: </strong>My first interest in journalism and photography occurred in high school at the Meloneer News (Rocky Ford, CO). I was the Editor and Photographer for the paper and later the yearbook. The photography aspect was what I was most interested in, but I did the writing out of necessity.</p> <p>I like the variety and adventure of being a photojournalist. I am able to travel, meet people, and be a small part during the significant moments of people's lives. I started out working in psychology, I have degrees in Psych and Journalism from CU. Both fields require that you be observant and a be student of human nature.</p> <p>What keeps me going after 25 years of this is the fact that on any day, I could make the best image of my life, so I'd better be ready for it.</p> <p><strong>Started at the Camera: </strong>1986</p>en-ushttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM102.jpgAlex Cousins of Colorado gets a kick away from Jess Remmes of James Madison during Sunday's game at Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM102.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM37.jpgKelly Butler of Colorado gets her head on the ball in front of Lisa Heise of JMU.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM37.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM21.jpgLauren Bell, left, of James Madison, and Gianna DeSaverio of Colorado get their heads on the ball onSun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM21.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM108.jpgAmber Bettenhausen of CU, splits the James Madison defense.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM108.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM49.jpgMaggi Steury of CU, and Lindsay Bowers of JMU, make contact going for the ball.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM49.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM67.jpgNikki Marshall of Colorado gets around Jessica Barndt of JMU.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM67.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM130.jpgNikki Keller, left, of CU, and Lindsay Bowers of James Madison meet at the ball on Sunday.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM130.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM77.jpgMichelle Wenino of Colorado goes in head first while defending Kim Germain of JMU on Sunday.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM77.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM172.jpgMandy Miller (16) of JMU and Nikki Keller of CU battle for position.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM172.jpghttp://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM162.jpgKelly Menachof of CU is off to the races with Mandy Miller of JMU in pursuit.Sun, 07 Sep 2008 20:22:04 -0000http://media.buffzone.com/buff/content/img/photos/2008/09/07/S0908CUJM162.jpg
