Sunday’s fun

So yesterday I photographed the Tri-City Roller Girls. I was nervous as hell, because I’ve never had to pose and direct such large groups in such short time before, but it was a lot of fun. Of all the ways I envisioned the day, the one scenario I never envisioned was standing behind three strange men in front of urinals. But I did.

Unfortunately, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hold the camera steady and it’s a bit unsharp. What can you do?

There are three teams in the league, and I photographed all three.

All in all, a great day.

    Holy eff, that is friggen cool. Whip It (which the rollergirls probably hate) made me wish I had become a roller girl 10 years ago, when I cared about being badass. Because those girls? The ones you photographed? Bad. Ass.

    Were you there to do portraits, or did you get any cool action/glamour shots? Would love to see more! And, most importantly, what is your rollergirl name? I will now spend the rest of the afternoon figuring out what mine will be.
