Late last year Skate Victoria approached me to licence some of my derby photography for their new website. Their new website has now launched at www.skatevictoria.com.au
We also made up a slideshow video using images we shot at the Vic/Tas Roller Derby Tournament 2013 for them. This featured nearly all the leagues that competed.
Thanks to Skate Victoria.
VRDL - Dead Ringer Rosies vs Toxic Avengers
I have been entering the Roller Derby Photo contest each month of 2013. The judging takes a while and today the November 2013 results where announced. I picked up a second place in the feature category with a shot from VRDL finals.

One of the goals I set myself at the beginning of 2013 was to get the cover of Australia's national roller derby magazine: Hit & Miss
So we have come to December and while I have had quite a lot of photos printed within the covers of the magazine this year, I hadn't been invited to supply the cover. This changed last week when I got the email I had been working towards all year.
I got the cover for the last issue of 2013!
I believe I was grinning like a cat the got the milk when I read it.
So achievement unlocked and goal completed for 2013.
Issue 14 Front Cover - Hit & Miss Magazine
The photo is from Victoria Roller Derby League's grand final I shot in November. It features Mon U Mental, Dayna Might and Mel Fyfe.
So now to workout goal(s) for 2014. Where to next?
The new season of the tv show Power Jam (aka Fans of Derby) is in full swing. This season the intro graphics feature mostly images from us. Broadcast on Foxtel (paid TV in Australia) Aurora. It's great to see the sport getting national tv coverage.
