News
Ryu shot Super Cup futbol and spent a whole match shooting Bayern manager Pep Guardiola, and Matt got back to shooting football and squeezed in one last regular season rodeo.

Cross-Counter
Our new segment where we say good things about sports photographs is called Cross-Counter. We decided to go with sports portraits in response to a reader question. Ryu picked Denis Rouvre’s picture of a sumo wrestler and Matt picked Al Tielemans’ picture of Rynell Parsons (third picture in gallery).

Special thanks to…
Our new producer Robb Massar
