"Pool in Action" -- my Derby City pix

[1pocket]

Spread out in four galleries. I still have a couple of days worth to add, but this is a good start.

Late round in Banks, when Brumback handed Alex his only loss. Of course later, Alex bounced back to defeat Ronnie Alcano in the Banks finals -- no three-peat for John this year. See more in the 2011 DCC Tournament gallery

Dippy Dave was the man in big games all week long. More action room photos here: 2011 DCC Action

Backgammon in the hallway. More ambiance photos here: 2011 DCC Ambiance

The AZ/1P room hosted the One Pocket ghost challenge, which made it tougher to get on the table yourself for a few days -- but it was fun to watch. More AZBilliards/OnePocket.org Room photos.

Well, I do try to be discreet and efficient, so as not to interfere with the players & participants :smile:

I think everything that I will upload, is uploaded now -- between the galleries its a total of about 400 photos, selected down and edited from about 1600 that I shot.

PS I think the best way to sit back and view these (unless you are looking for something specific), is to go to the gallery, then click on the "Slideshow" button top right in the menu bar -- that gets you to a real nice full screen slideshow...

Hey Steve,Great pics!! That little Alex.... boy Is he something or what??
How could anybody think that he's not good for the game!!! If I didn't win It, he would be In my top 2 or 3 favorite players to do so.Just because I like him so much.

I want to thank all you camera guys for doing a fine job of not ever bothering the players.You guys have It down pat.You would make great hunters.very stealthy,lol Thanks again Steve Booth. JB

Love the Backgammon shot! Is that Billy Incardona beside the players? I know Billy used to play a lot of Backgammon and, I think, still does. By far one of the best gambling games ever invented! Sigel got his clock cleaned playing it, though not by Billy, and gave it up. I played it myself for many years and loved it.

Who was getting the "BIRD"?

In the ambience gallery it shows Earl flipping someone off in the audience I guess. Anyone have the story on this one? Curious is someone from the stands got under his skin?

Pretty typical of his nature so I wasnt really suprised to see that one!:thumbup:

Between these and Calireds, we've seen some great stuff from the DCC.
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, that was Earl responding in a jovial way to Bunny Rogoff playfully calling Earl "Strychnine".

This was either the one pocket semi's or the final for Earl and it is the only time that I have ever personally witnessed Earl actually smiling, joking and quite obviously pleased as punch at having made it to that stage of the 1P tourney.

I truly believe that Earl would experience frequent "flash backs" if he were to be able to put himself in this mode.

Thanks. Bernie.

Thanks for all the pics...

Did I see Monster John in on of the pics? I hope so, I never heard an update after his health issues.
