My server was down yesterday.  I'm glad to see everything is back up and running and that my site was not damaged.

Friday Night I spent photographing a wrestling tournament.  Today I spent selling the photos to the families of the wrestlers.  When I was offered the job I felt a bit dubious about the prospects of making any money.  I didn't think that people would want to buy photos of their kids smashing their faces into the wrestling mats.  I was wrong!  Sales were brisk and steady.  People loved the drama of the photos--and I have to admit that I liked them too.  They were also a lot of fun to shoot.
