This is another installment in the “Art of the Game” series.  I’m still out here searching for out-of-the-ordinary images from sporting events.  I was sent out to shoot a feature on a local swimmer this afternoon, and I wanted to add something else to this series, because I don’t shoot swimming very often.  Almost every time I shoot swimming for action, I’m looking for the standard photos where I can see a face, such as the head-on butterfly stroke or a side view of the breast stroke.  This particular image was when the swimmer was just about to emerge from underwater on a backstroke run. 

I’m starting to enjoy this series quite a bit if I can keep it going.  I would like to round out the collection with at least 25 images over the course of this calendar year.  I’m currently in basketball and wrestling season, but I haven’t spotted a wrestling scene yet that inspired an image for this series.  I’m probably going to be shooting wrestling again this coming Friday, so I may look a little harder for something from that sport that can find its way into this collection…
