2008 in retrospect, Part 1…

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

So here it is, the year 2009.  My resolutions?  I really don’t have any…well, not any I’m going to share!  2008 was the best “wrestling” year so far for me.  In the next couple of posts, I am going to try and convey that to all six of you, my readers.   First the easy part, below are the shows I shot in 2008.  By my count I attended a total of 40 shows in all, there were a couple where I didn’t shoot any pictures so the that number and the list below won’t match up.  This was 17 less shows than in 2008.  By my estimation, I traveled 7635 miles for wrestling.  2008 I traveled 13,164.  The gas price scare in 2008 explains this.   Part 2 forthcoming…
