Cascade Cross Series: Thriller Cross 2011, 12/17/2011

 · Set one · Set two · Set three · 

"It's the least understood but most emphatically enjoyed faction of cycling. It's mud-bogging, sand-squirming, barrier-hopping, wet-grass-slipping, steep-pitch-scrambling fun.

It will make you want to puke. It will make you want to fall over. It will make you feel alive, and once your heart rate comes down, you'll want to do it again.

It's called Cyclocross, and it's like no other cycling discipline (but somewhat like all of them)."

I shot these photos at the Cascade Cross Series' Thriller Cross 2011 race on December 17, 2011, at Bellingham's Civic Fields Complex

Rockbusters Wrestling from Vashon Island!

Rockbusters Wrestling Meet at Vashon High School, 11/05/2011

 · Set one · Set two · Set three · Set four · Set five · 

There are a ton of photos. I shot over 4,000 and ended up using over 500. I tried to get something of everyone, but given that there were often six matches going on at once it was hard to cover everything. I've shown the times that the photos in each set were shot so that if you have a rough idea of when your wrestler wrestled, you'll know which sets to look in. Finally, I tried to group all the photos from each separate match together, but that didn't always work...
