Just a kick in the grass, or on the turf

When I worked in football we used to debate long and passionately about qualities that go into making a player special. Now that I'm a photographer I guess the question is how do I use this knowledge to portray the game that I love.

For me it's always been about high quality technique with an ability to perform at pace as well as under pressure. The player must also be able to perform in motion and I just love to see great balance.

With this in mind therefore, why not take a look at a                   few photos from this weekend when  I covered the the New York State high school boys varsity soccer championships. See what you think then why not leave me a comment

New York State X Country Championships

Runners reflections, Lakeside Park, Pawling New York

A first for me at the weekend with a chance to photograph the New York State High School Cross Country championships taking place at Lakeside Park in Pawling.

I was working for Max Preps but able to take full advantage of what is a lovely venue.It was a beautiful day throughout, not a cloud in the sky as well as a tranquil, reflective lake. The low, bright sunshine can prove to be a challenge for a photographer but here are a few of my favorite images why dont you take a lookand see what you think.
