As a photographer coming into the end of a year is always an interesting time. Many of us will look back over our favorite photos and enjoy those memories again. I wanted to take this a step further and share my favorites with you.
To start 2022 I was a rec ball photographer, And focused primarily on woods and hyperball.
Then the Chesapeake Cheetahs came to town and invited me to come shoot some of their tryouts and practices.
From January until March I worked primarily as a staff photographer for the Cheetahs and other Xball teams at CSP. No matter if it was raining, snowing, warm or cold I was out in the weather with these talented women. I would often come off the field covered in more paint and drenched than they were.
During Sunshine State they invited me to stay with them at their Airbnb and welcomed me with open arms into their family. Like in any group there are always hiccups but I did meet one of my best friends Cyndi at this point as we roomed together.
After Sunshine State my own paintball crew Chesapeake Crushers started competing and practicing weekly so I shifted my focus from Cheetahs to the Crushers and expanded from there to all of the Xball teams that were visiting or homed at CSP.
It only allows 80 photos and unable to narrow a year down to that, so another post incoming shortly
