Soccer

It seems that in the US we (I include myself in that) are finally catching on to the "soccer fever" that the rest of the world has had for years and years! With the US national team finally showing that they are something to talk about, interest has grown in this underdog sport, especially here in Utah where in recent years we have acquired the Real Salt Lake soccer team. This new-found interest in soccer has also increased enrollments for local Utah soccer leagues. Every kid out there is practicing to be the next Beckham.

Soccer, surprisingly, is one of the best sports for photographers. Photographers can somewhat more easily predict the next move in soccer, and more than one person can be shot as the "star" of a photograph unlike many other sports where a few major players dominate most of the game play. I have had a lot of fun shooting soccer games this season, and would like to share a few of my shots with you. Enjoy!
