Just a note to say thank you SO MUCH for being a part of our PFPB event in KC last spring. I am the Creative Director for PFPB and I am also putting together a PFPB yearbook in the next month or two. If you would like to be involvd in the yearbook, please send me a disk of your favorite PFPB high-res images or send the images to me via YOUSENDIT.com by November 15th 2010. (If you would like to include your photographer logo or website on the images, that is wonderful.)
Hey there! Nice hearing from you, and thanks for the comments on my roller derby photos. My tips? Agh! It's a long list, because you're right, derby is very hard to shoot. The main problems are the low light of most venues and the high speed of the sport. So I would say, crank your ISO up as high as you've ever had it before, then plonk a flash on your camera and use it. My main secret for getting more natural-looking flash is to go into the camera settings and change the flash synch to "rear curtain." It produces a MUCH more natural looking photo (why this isn't in every camera how-to book on page one is beyond me). Then get yourself as close as you can and -- fire away! Good luck, I look forward to seeing the results! :-)
Love your photo album, I will surely spend a lot of time here looking. Thank you very much for taking all these pictures all over town and posting them, this is freakin' awesome!!

You sent me a very nice comment on one of my photo-art pieces a while back.. I was going through some personal trauma back then, and am just now catching up with those that made comments on my site. Thank-you very much, and I apologize for not responding sooner.
In the Detroit area, there is a large museum and village called The Henry Ford ( www.thehenryford.org ). As part of the exhibit and entertainment, they showcase base ball as it was played in 1867. They have a large group of volunteers that play every Saturday and Sunday. Other times, other local vintage base ball teams are invited to play. Once a year, they host the National Tournament of Historic Base Ball, which usually draws 12-16 teams from the Midwest. There is no league as such, with standings, stats and all, but this is more like a continuing series of exhibition games. Take a look at the Vintage Base Ball Association www.vbba.org for more information. Oh, yeah - in 1867 it was called Base Ball, not the current Baseball. Thanks for your interest.
