Hi--I'm cute.
So I'm no pro at sports photography, but what the fook, I will give it a try. Here is some Mexican soccer, NBA pre-season basketball and NHL Hockey. I don't really have the right lenses for this sort of thing, I did my best with whats I gots.
The Mexican Futbol...soccer for us dumbass Americans was between Club America and Chivas Guadalajara. I know nothing about this except that they both have amazing fans and soccer is much more exciting to watch when you are standing on the field.
These devil masks are kind of scary, so is that dude on the left.
Why so glum, chum?
Hockey
Islanders vs. Kings
Eh...not really happy with these. There were only two cut-outs in the plexiglass to shoot through and both were taken so I shot through the dirty glass. I asked a photographer from Getty if I could shoot through it for two minutes, when he was ten feet away editing, he said...uh no I'm using it. Thanks douchebag!
This might hurt
NBA Basketball
New Orleans Hornets vs Miami Heat
I do like me some basketball and its fun to sit on the court all up close like. Duane Wade ran over me and knocked my lens cover off, no injuries. I threw the ball back once to the ref...yep exciting. They played pretty hard, didn't really look like preseason to me. Wish we had a team.
NOLA Bitches!!
Mark, Blink-182
Local radio station 96.5 Buzz had a little festival of bands at Cap Fed Park on September 4th over labor day weekend. Headliners Blink-182 with other bands, Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, Chester French, The Von Bondies, Republic Tigers, Stellastar, Matt and Kim and a couple more that I missed due to traffic on the exit to the venue from an accident.
Overall a pretty good festival, I liked the smaller bands better than Blink and Weezer. Matt and Kim were especially good, I love the way Kim plays drums, always smiling and cheerful. The crowds were pretty thick at both stages. The Weezer fans were going crazy and crowdsurfing all over the place. I was dodging bodies while I was in the photopit shooting for most of the day.

Reggae. Plain and simple, I love it. I listen to all the great reggae artists, The Congos, Lee Perry, Augustus Pablo, U-Roy, Horace Andy and many many more. One legend, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert and The Wailers with one original member, Ashton "Family Man" Barrett, played at the Crossroads with openers Supervillians.
The Wailers played most of Bob Marley and the Wailers Exodus album and Toots put on a damn fine show, man that guy can sing! Decked out in black leather singing his rocksteady grooves he put on quite the performance singing and dancing the whole night, he has more energy than I do for sure. Don't miss him if he plays in your city.
