Roller Derby

I have been more than late in editing and posting photos from the roller derby bout I photographed back in October 2012. My apologies! It seemed to get lost in the shuffle and when going back through my image folders (uploading a maternity session I did this weekend), I realized I had some work to do. SO here are a few of the photos from Port Orchard - I traveled across the waters with Dix Y Chix, the co-ed team on the Grunge City League and photographed a bout for the first time. Admittedly, going back through the photos now (after training for roller derby for 6 months now), I realize how much I DIDN'T know about the sport and how much I have learned in that time span. I kept asking myself, where is the action? What is going on in this photo? Lessons can be learned looking back at old work - this made that clear in my mind. In the future I hope to photograph more bouts with a) a better sense of the game and b) a great sports lens. But for now, I leave you with some derby pics!
