In my head, I had grand visions of capturing players striking balls in mid-air, goalies diving acrobatically making miraculous saves and cheering fans stampeding the grounds in frenzied joy.

Unfortunately, sports photography is ten times tougher than I thought. Knowing the game is essential to being able to anticipate the moves that will develop. Frankly, I had no clue when the next potential goal was going to be scored and spent many fruitless hours pointed in the wrong direction. Hats off to all you pro-sports shooters out there. Respect! 

So instead, I bring you pictures of some handsome fellas.

G, you never fail to crack me up. Good game! hahahah
