One thing I miss about working at the Rocky Mount Telegram is the diversity of sports we covered there. This is one of only two volleyball matches I've shot this year (and I'm the evening shift photographer), where I had been shooting 1-3 games a week this time of year in Rocky Mount.

The two papers have about the same size sports section, but The Gazette has NASCAR, Panthers and Bobcats to take up a lot of that space. I guess it all balances out, though. We didn't have any pro sports to shoot in Rocky Mount.

I'm enjoying the calm before the storm of winter sports kicks into full swing, and looking back on some of my work from the fall. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the best of my volleyball pictures from this past season. Click on the pics for details.
