From my continuing high school wrestling series... these are the first attempts at using medium format film instead of digital. I printed these in the darkroom this morning, and the actual prints look much better than these scans...

Hmm, not sure. Maybe I'm losing the ability to 'see' in black and white, but the foreground and background seem to merge. I love the composition on the center shot, but wish there was a little less action in the background.

I agree... If I could have isolated that middle shot with nothing in the background it would be amazing... I have a long learning curve ahead of me with this Hasselblad.

I was talking about you today...believe it or not, I ran into Phil Jackson.... and he is going to contact you. He is about to leave on a long photo road trip for the rest of the winter, but he said he would email you before he goes.
