Looking forward to the feedback!

uh......... Ouch?


So are you a sports shooter all the time? I was contacted by a guy to shoot a fight once. It never came around. Is it tough to do? Or were you a spectator?

Ummm, yea, all I can think is painful. I would much rather be behind the lens.

I was credentialed for TapouT Magazine but not located ringside. My location was about 80 ft away. Shot with a Nikon D200 and 70-200mm AFS VR f/2.8. Most were @ 200mm ....

The gallery has been updated with the remaining fights (MMA and Boxing).

Couture News ...
After suffering a broken jaw in her pro debut loss, female mixed martial artist Kim Couture was initially informed that she would require sugery to wire her jaw shut for five weeks. Upon realizing that she was a fighter, doctors decided instead to insert a titanium plate and screws. Couture will undergo surgery on Wednesday. The procedure will allow her to return to training and sparring in just 6 weeks, a lot sooner than possible had she had her jaw wired shut. "I will be eating a steak dinner the night of my surgery," she remarked. Excited about the news, Couture is eager for a rematch with Rose, stating, "I will definitely get her back! I don't think she can whoop me."
