For the last two years I have put together a dodgeball tournament here at my command in an effort to help raise money for our Marine Corps Birthday Ball. Last year, we had over 100 players and even though I tried to take pictures I missed a lot of shots because I was playing in the tournament. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in coming up/down to Quantico on March 16th to get some practice taking action shots. I have a lot of sponsors who have donated stuff, so I would need copies of the photos to send to them for use on their website and such. It starts at 1100 and lasts about four hours. You wouldn't have to stay the whole time if your schedule didn't permit. I might be able to swing a little bit of cash your way ($25-$50) if you can stay the whole time and have the right gear to catch the action shots.

If this sounds interesting to anyone please feel free to contact me or make a post here.



Did I mention there will be free food and drinks?

Damn, that's tempting! I thought the date sounded familiar...I've scheduled two doctor appt's that day. :(

You should be able to get someone for this. Sounds like fun! Good luck to your team.

I can't really describe how much fun it is. I work with a lot of IT people and well,... some aren't very graceful... which makes for great pictures!

We had the best team last year, but we fell apart right at the end. This is our year! Each player from the top teams gets a Slingbox, so I stacked my team. ;)

Marines don't have the money to spend, but some of the vendors and sponsors may pay...

If I could I would.. my son is a Marine. Was in Quantico too... I have to go to Charlotte this weekend. But if you can find someone I will donate $50 bucks for their pay/gas.
