sidedoor

This is just going to be a sample. The Atlanta Rollergirls have set up shop next door at the Yaarab Shrine since March and it took me three months to get a ticket to one of their roller derby matches. I finally got in (and permission) to photograph last week's bout which was the fourth straight sellout for the league. Due to the length of time between matches and the number of people I talked to, I don't think I'll be able to post this slideshow for another month. In any case, the athletes have been very approachable and great to talk to, even though they seem best known for knocking the snot out of one another on the track.
