In November we had the opportunity to travel to Mexico to visit Back2Back Ministries. We traveled with our friends Michael and Jami McDowell and Trevor Bayne to the city of Monterrey where we were able to love on some orphans for a few days. I’m sure you’ve heard that Trevor just scored himself a Daytona 500 win this weekend. Well, what you should also know is that this kid has a heart to serve people, and as T. Bayne would say, “Don’t TALK about it. BE about it.” He’s about it.

Congratulations, Trevor. Enjoy the win, and keep living your faith buddy.

Check out more photos from the trip if you’d like… They’re here.

I may have found my new favorite sport to shoot… The image possibilities in kayak polo are sweet! You get intense competition, faces, player interactions and the dynamic visuals of a water sport.

This was my first time shooting kayak polo, but I managed to come away with a few good shots. The action is fast, but contained in a relatively small pitch. So it was simple shooting with single Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8. This club plays on Lake Wylie, and I was able to shoot from the deck that runs along one side of the playing area. Morning light was somewhat diffused, but at ISO 400 I was still capturing shots at around 1/500th to 1/1200th exposures with the f-stop between 4 and 5.6.
