The Discontinuum Club Challenge! Thank you so much to all of the clubs that played in this year's event for having me out here! I really enjoyed photographing this event today. It felt more like a festival than a group challenge, and that's what I love about this.

The last time I photographed the club challenge, I think was in 2016 (the icy year). It is incredible to see how much this event has changed over the years, and how it has also kept its roots.

I captured over 1,600 images today, so it will take awhile to get through everything but I wanted to share your group photos!

Thank you again, for the perfect day. I know y'all brought that sunshine and good weather just by your vibes. - Keep In Flight

I had so much fun photographing league today at Walnut Hollow in Cary, IL. I want to come back to this course almost for this hole, alone. I love the elevation changes here and the old growth Oak trees.

Today was a vibe, legitimately. Thank you Nick and the FORE20 league for inviting me out here to be apart of this. You treated me like family, and I can see that's how you are with everyone that comes and plays with you.

Thank you! I can't wait to go through these photos! I shot 64GB today (over 1,500 photos and it was one round). 🙃

Seriously one of the most memorable moments of my life witnessing the total eclipse at Fox Prairie Disc Golf Course in Mcleansboro, IL.

FOX PRAIRIE DISC GOLF COURSE WITH UNSTABLE DISCOURSE PODCAST AND THE TOTAL ECLIPSE — The Disc Golf Photographer Fox Prairie Disc Golf Course in McLeansboro, IL, with the Unstable Discourse Podcast.

13 years ago at The Memorial. This is what the media looked like. These memories feel like yesterday working with the crew that made up Disc Golf Planet TV.

I still can't believe I got to work with the legends thinking about it today.

So many sparks were ignited here to make disc golf what it is today.

Persistence is really the difference between success and failure. Spring will be here before you know it.

How are you creating persistence in your life today, to prepare yourself for tomorrow?

Northwoods on film! I got my film scans back yesterday, and I love these little memories from early fall.

I managed to take some bad photos 🤣 this actually happens all the time. So I'm sharing them with you.

I managed to get my finger in one of the photos 🤣 that's a classic rookie move. And I realized how much the Kodak Ultra F9 is not meant for closeups, so everything is blurry, but the background is in focus. Hey!!!!! Go film. Make mistakes.

Looking back at it now, I don't know how I took all those photos and made a video at the same time (like patting your head and rubbing your stomach all at once!). But here we are.
