I don't know if you noticed or not, but we have recently acquired some incredible pictures of our paintball tournament. No. I did not take these with my camera phone.
I am fortunate enough to life next door to a very talented photographer. Tim Jones is a mild mannered graphic designer by day, and a photographer extraordinaire by night/weekend. When I first met Tim two years ago and asked what he did for a living he replied "I design toys!" How cool is that?
Tim claims that photographer is a quasi hobby of his, but from the look of these shots it could easily turn into a lucrative business for him. He was kind enough to come out an shoot some shots for our paintball team to use in our portfolio and web page. His shots are phenomenal.
If you would like to look at the paintball shots, as well as other photos Tim has shot, follow these directions:
PAINTBALL PICTURES:

There are around 300 pictures, so take your time.
Tim's Gallery
go to http://www.hinterlandphoto.com/
click on "gallery"
choose which one you want to look at (they are all good)
Those of you who participated in the tournament can purchase any of the photos you see on line. All of the purchases rune through Hinterland Photos. Take time and check his stuff out. He is extremely talented and I am sure everyone can find something in his gallery to enjoy!
Thanks again Tim!

BOA Tournament
The Brotherhood of Assassins (our completely harmless but mean sounding paintball club) hosted its first ever paintball tournament on April 26. It was a resounding success with 5 teams and over 40 people participating. We had players from all age group (6th graders through 40+ year old men) participating in the tournament.
Everyone was able to participate in at least 7 games, and a few teams played 9 or more. The prize money was split between Team Catastrophy and the team from Argo due to bad weather. We ended the day with a 40 person battle that got interesting to say the least.
Part of what made the tournament such a success was the sportsmanship displayed by the players. No one got in fights. No one cheated (that I know of). No one left with hurt feelings. In our book that makes everything worth it. Especially impressive to me was the sportsmanship displayed by the team from Argo. These guys have been in paintball for a while and obviously know what they are doing. They answered all of the questions the kids threw at them about equipment and guns, and helped the kids learn a lot about the sport of paintball. The brotherhood would like to say thanks for the great play and attitudes. We sincerely hope to play with these guys again soon.
If you are interested in getting involved in paintball, please contact me or Coach Howard and we will hook you up. If you can not get us, talk to one of the kids who play with us. We can direct you to the next play dates we are going to have and where you can sign up to play. Thanks again to everyone involved. I can't wait until the next time.
