Serious Head Wound
So, you think your having a bad day? This wrestler has 26 stitches in his head! Tonight I was sent to a wrestling match and when I got there the editor tells me this kids story and asks me to try and get a shot of him on the bench or something. He is Clackamas' 275lb wrestler and a pretty good one too. Good shot at winning the league title....anyway, last weekend during the ice storm, he decides to sled down a hill, loses control and smashes his face into a fence post, nearly loses an eye and boom, 26 stitches in your face. During the match he was walking around so I asked him to pose for me real quick. I had 2 Canon speedlights pointed toward the mat for the action so I grabbed one real quick, flipped it around and shot a close up of his injury with the action in the background. I think it turned out pretty cool.

That's a good photo. Tell Frankenstien he should aim his sled at something soft.

Wow... very cool picture, indeed. However, doesn't he look like Burf? -- Grover
