"But I Just Work at a Small Newspaper…"
Twenty one plus years ago I arrived in Columbia, MD, to start work as a staff PJ at Patuxent Publishing, a chain of community tabloid newspapers. Like most of the rest of the staff, I was young and full of piss and vinegar. One thing I loved about working there is that we never let our size be a ceiling to what we wanted to do creatively. Staff shooter Matt Roth is carrying on that tradition there today, and I just came across a portrait series of standout high school athletes from this past spring season.
I am working up the final Boot Camp assignment post today. But in the interim, stop by Matt's blog and check out his pix for those could've-been-boring end of year feature stories.
If you are trudging through your high school sports shooting season, these should be sufficient to get you off of your butt. Kickass.

Awesome, thanks for the inspiration to be bold with "bad" weather!
Did the images run? I doubt that newsprint would do these justice.

Wow!!! Those are some amazing photos!
Wonderful photographs - full, not only of action, but of life.
Thanks for the link. :-)
Consider me getting off my butt. I have a few Athlete of the Week gigs coming up and have been in need of some inspiration. Thanks man.
Excellent images - they really get the idea of power and athleticism across. Really cool of Mr Roth to deconstruct the pictures too.
He writes that he hit the 1/250th synch barrier - maybe you could help him out on that one :-)
WOW, Any chance on getting Matt to explain how he made some of these?
Amazing images, thanks for the link!
David, I thought you might get a kick out of this video from Asahi Shinbun:

Who needs off-camera strobes when you've got 300 others!
