| Hooray! The return of sports (photography) ...
During the summer months, sports coverage more or less takes a hiatus from the pages of the Montrose Daily Press. You'll find stories about less traditional sporting pursuits — rock climbing or mountain biking or the like — but team sports largely follow the academic calendar, meaning such coverage fades momentarily in the heat of summer.
As students head back to school and teams begin their respective seasons, so too does the paper's sports coverage return. While I enjoy the stories detailing the games and narratives throughout the season, my favorite part of the return of sports coverage are the photographs. Freezing moments in time, these photos capture the essence of the games: the thrill, the agony, the celebration, the sting of defeat.
You'll be happy to know that Will Woody is back shooting photos for us this season. Will is a great photographer, and his photos have been chronicling local sports for years. If a particularly memorable shot from our pages pops into your mind, that's probably Will's.
From time to time you'll also see other local photographers you're likely familiar with featured on our sports pages. Gunnison Clamp can be found framing up his shots on the sidelines, and Joe Harold is keeping an eye on the action in Olathe.
We'd also like to introduce you to a new photographer that will be shooting some sports for us this season. Enrique Quintero has been sending in some early season shots and, I think you'll agree, they're pretty good.
Throughout the season we'll be providing game coverage online and in print, and we'll feature plenty of photos in both formats, but even so we inevitably end up with a lot of shots that don't get published, but are certainly worth checking out. For those extras, check out our social media pages — Facebook and Instagram — and enjoy.
Have a Good One,
