Player Photo Session

Thanks to everyone who participated in the player photo session earlier this week. And, thanks especially to Kim and Dave Lewis for letting me convert their living room into a photo studio for the day!

Images are processed in a variety of ways--color, desaturated color (for an old-time look) and black & white. Most of these images have a resolution sufficient for very large prints. Each player will receive a free 8x10 print of my favorite shot. Additionally, I will provide directions on how to order any of the prints for cost--with no profit markup on these.
