OT: Show off your sports photography...

[CampWest]

Yeah HSN... its tough for me to feel bad for ya. Tell ya what, anytime you wanna visit KC, I'll hook you up and you can hook me up with a free place to stay in Hawaii. What island do you live on?

On the flip side, I live in Kansas... Just took a trip to Kaua'i in September, and you definitely outscore us on the possibilities for landscape photography, and also water sports like surfing.

So I don't feel too bad for you living in Hawai'i... And of course there is this pesky issue of winters in the midwest...

I don't have any pro sport team where I live in Hawaii so all of my sports photography is of local college teams & high school teams.

From the Aflac Game Practices this year. I was able to score a media credential and shot on the field.

All eyes on Harper

I took these 3 pics of Juan Gonzalez in 1993. He signed the middle pic for me. I still have the original negatives.

My all time favorite Hockey player is Pavel Bure. I've seen him play live in three states and two countries. Far and away the greatest goal I ever saw him score live was against the Islanders . In fact of the top 10 goals of his HOF career, it was ranked #8 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktbhTbc1pAo

That fantastic goal is captured here and signed by Pav on the left. My photo of him, from my seats that night entering the ice is on the right.

2004 Playoffs - Houston at Atlanta

Some freaky chance allowed me to capture both of Carlos Beltran's home-runs in mid-swing, and a bonus Berkman:

A few more -

• Cincinnati clinches the playoffs in 1990. We were waiting out the rain as the Padres lost (I think it was SD), giving the Reds the division.
• Barry Bonds posing for photographs in the on-deck circle. He might have been pumped full of pecs, but he was very camera-friendly that day.
• Muhammed Ali at the Chicago National around 2005, talking to the fans, hugging babies, etc. on the way to the signing table - very, very friendly guy.
