On this page I present Soccer, my favorite subject in the realm of Sports Photography. The player above is related to me and thus I have a model release. This is high-speed dribbling with the outside of the foot. It is very exciting to see a player do it well. The picture was taken during a tournament at the Starfire Soccer Complex in Tukwila, Washington. The picture below on the left was taken during a recent Rainier Challenge Cup Tournament, while the one on the right is from the BU13 State Championship Final game May 2, 2010.
This page presents only a few images. I photograph mostly for teams that I know. In the interests of confidentiality, I will not post the many dramatic multi-player images that are in my portfolio since so many faces are recognizable and I believe in privacy. I specialize in candids and action shots of high quality. My subjects are the players, coaches, managers and parents. All images on this page are copyrighted and permission must be sought before any use, personal or public. .
(Picture Below) On August 14, 2008, at Qwest Field in Seattle, my son and I had the privilege of meeting internationally famous goalkeeper Kasey Keller. The occasion was the public announcement of Mr. Keller's acceptance of the goalkeeping spot for the new Seattle Sounders FC--- it's the Nation's newest MLS franchise. I was impressed by Mr. Keller in general, and was especially pleased to witness firsthand the comfort he has with youth players. In the picture, Kasey is on the left, and on the right is Adrian Hanaeur, the Sounder's General Manager. Washington is Keller's home State, and Mr. Hanaeur is one of the people instrumental in bringing Mr. Keller back to the Puget Sound area -- it's where Keller began his soccer career about 18 years ago, as a youth player in Olympia, Washington.
