I get it, the sun is bright, but the Golden Hour makes for such beautiful images. 

Front lit and back lit, they're all beautiful!

Home from another #gsws - but this time not as a player, but as one of the tournament photographers.

Wow! What an amazing experience to see the game from this perspective. Loved every minute of it - but I'm exhausted!

Stats for the week:

Steps: 70,081
Miles: 26
Images: 36,022

Special thanks to @larrybarthel for being an amazing mentor for my first GSWS from the other side. Not to mention setting the standard by taking some amazing images! 

Special thanks to @thatdangandypandy for being a great friend and providing tips to survive the week. You're the best and I love my Panda!

Thank you to @nagaaasoftball for giving me an opportunity to help capture this important and impactful annual event. 

Thank you to all of the @gsws2023 volunteers, NAGAAA board members and volunteers, players, coaches, fans, and umpires for be gracious, friendly, and genuinely great people.

Thank you to @twins and @mplsgov for being great partners and hosts.

Over the next 10 days or so you'll get a sample of the action, as we work through our selection and editing process, but today, just some atmosphere pics, and of course, one of me "working" on the field.

Safe travels home to everyone, see you in @vegas @lasvegasgsws !

A few of our friends at Constitution Lake trail in DeKalb County.

Now, if they would only fix the boardwalk that has been in disrepair for months now. Time to invest in this treasure.

Wishing everyone a magical start to their day!

It was a thrilling finish in the first bout between the Apocalypstix from Atlanta and the Tragic City Rollers from Birmingham.

In the second bout it was a hometown row between the Glamma Rays and Toxic Shocks.

If you haven't been, it is a fun-filled couple of hours.

Four women plotting an escape from their nursing home . . what could go wrong?

Will Nurse Nasty, I mean Nancy, catch them? Will the food delivery driver spill the beans (literally, not figuratively)?
