2011 USAU College Championships – Day 1

December 7, 2011 in Photography, Sports, Ulitmate

Back in May I went out to Boulder, Colorado to shoot the 2011 USAU College Championships. It was my birthday weekend and I choose to spend it working hard in the sun, meeting deadlines, and doing what I love. Plus not all was lost as I celebrated my birthday for the whole week after I got back. It was a win-win. These photos have been put on the back-burners since I started working full time but trying to post everyday is motivating me to make them a priority. Check out a few shots below and then head HERE to see all the photos from Day 1.

I really like the framing on this one. It’s not very often that Ultimate is covered by professional news outlets so the huge CBS Sports Alt Games banner serves as a nice backdrop that brings some legitimacy to the sport.

The highest levels of Ultimate is where is gets the most physical. Oregon vs Colorado.
