USPL DC Open Professional Paintball

Since there have been a lot of paintball photography posts here lately I though I should post some of my latest work. These are pictures from the recent USPL (United Stated Professional League) DC Challenge event that took place at Pev’s Paintball Park, Aldie, Virginia a few weeks ago.
I was shooting the event for FaceFull Magazine…

And in case Mr. Jimmy Hickey is lurking here I though I better add some splat pictures so as not to disappoint him

Nice work Gary! I assume most are with the 300?

Hope to meet up with you again someday! (Met you at NCPA Nationals last year)

man, these are sweet
Excellent job

Is this at the new place near Leesburg? I have been wanting to go there since they started building it, but can never make it out there.

This may sound like I am really dumb but I have really no idea were I was. I get sent to events all over the world that sometimes I really do not pay much attention to where I am. I frequently roll out of the red eye flight into a rental car and turn on the GPS and go where the lady in the “idiot box” tells me where to go. One time I was driving to an event in the back woods of Florida in the middle of a moonless night and the GPS broke….I had no idea where I was but that is another long story

Here are some pictures of the paintball field; it was a very impressive facility

Really great pics Gary! Love the splatter shots! Are you going to be shooting World Cup in October? What lens were you using for this tournament?

Yes that is the new place! Now that I can see an overall. It just opened this summer. I wonder if Pev's moved to the USPL. They used to run a team in the NPPL.

Actually the USPL is the NPPL. Pacific Paintball which purchased the USPL a few years ago went bankrupt and is now gone

Chuck Hendsh former president of the NPPL started the USPL this year to replace the NPPL and when the NPPL logo became available in the bankruptcy sale he purchased the rights to the name and logo so now they are the same

Yes I will be at WC

Cool! I have not followed along very close for about 2 years.

Gary thats all you got come on I know you have some better ones then those

No have others but I can not post them here yet, to see them you need to buy FaceFull magazine. I do not think they would be too happy if the images appeared here before they appeared in their magazine

I used to work for Badlands Painttball here in Vanocuver so i like the IMPACT photo. lol
Nice work!

Very nice work Gary, well done. Wish I could have gone down there, oh well.
