Also, I just had to include a photo of someone holding up their sandal. Totally random, but totally awesome. View the entire Coca-Cola Stage line-up.

The weekend of June 11/12 proved to be a very exciting weekend as I had the pleasure of working as the official photographer for the second annual CPPL 2011 Canadian Triple Crown event, which was held in Salmon Arm, BC. The Canadian Triple Crown is the largest, most diverse paintball tournament in Canada, having teams come from the CPPL and IPL leagues, as well as from western Canada and the United States.

I was on the field capturing the action of more than 20 hours of gameplay over the two day tournament. It was long and intense, but incredibly awesome and a whole lot of fun. I just wish I had two camera bodies, as having only one lens is really limiting me in terms of what I can capture.

Regardless, I made a lot of new friends and have a lot of people excited to see me entering into the world of paintball photography. I really enjoy it and see myself sticking around for a while. View all of my photos from Triple Crown.

Here are a few of my favourite images from the event.
