But before we get into the photos, let me share the news. For years, Marc has been encouraging me to make a side business out of my photos. I got more encouragement last weekend from a rugby friend. Having finally gotten the message, I am happy to introduce you to Brown Hound Photography. It's more than rugby photos. We also offer landscape/seascape photos and photos of some structures from our travels in other parts of the world. The site will grow as more photos are added in the weeks, months and years ahead. Marc is working on the design and marketing side of things, as well as being my assistant, pack mule and all-around helper when I'm doing my thing.
Okay, so here are some photos (and I strongly encourage you to click on these for a better view):
The Marines play against the NYPD
See the blond Marine on the left side of the photo? He looked even better up close (sorry, no "up close" photo). *drool*
Oh, yeah. There were some women playing, too.
Okay, okay. I'll try to behave. The truth of the matter is that these ladies had some serious skills! They could have kicked the asses of a lot of male ruggers. I said to Marc that I really had to admire how well they played!
How about that for a jump?
By the way, if you go to the homepage of USA Rugby, the first photo you'll see is that last one (at least for now... and for the past 3 or 4 days). The second photo also is mine. (It was a good week!) :)
Okay, I think that's enough for a blog post! If you want to see more, go to the gallery. There are 193 photos, and some nice ones, if I do say so myself. (Actually, since it was nasty, gray weather, I'm quite pleased with the results. Low light isn't good for rugby photography.)
And remember Brown Hound Photography for your photo shopping needs! :)

Congratulations on the new photo venture! I also like that you're getting recognition for the really great work you've been doing all these years.
P.S. The travel section--my biggest interest--is close to sensational. The British Museum comes of looking like a fantastically clean, sculpted modernist stage setting. Just super.
Thanks, Will. I'll still get the enjoyment out of it, of course. The potential for it being a going business is really a bonus. Amd you're right that the recognition feels nice.
If the business end works, the bonus is that my future camera purchases, some travel expenses, etc., will be fully legitimate business expenses. A favorite hobby with tax benefits--what more could I ask? :)
Congratulations on the new business! I love the name too. :)
