Justin,


GREAT PICS!!!, Like your not busy enough but havig a couple photo albums on the TAR site would be cool, and maybe , just maybe, when people see those pics it might get them interested enough to watch the free feed's or PPV's. Because it kinda puts you in the mood of "Man I wish I was there last time". I dont think ist necessart to get complicated, just like this just the event and the pics in no partiuular order, You a great photographer, you said its a hobby and it goes hand in hand with putting non streaming contene on yout site 24/7. Like the pics you took of my case and cue for example, they are hott pics so 2-3 of those among the 100's or 1000's of other shots you have collected. It would juice things up and the order of them is pointless, we all like pics. And because yours are so good it is a free way to enhance TAR's which should enhance TAR's traffic whrn its game day!!! my 5 cents -it woiuld normally be 3 cents but this is a good idea, so I have to charge more. :)


One more suggestion, that pic of Shane with the bent shaft, breaking the balls. DO SOMETHING WITH IT!!! ANYTHING ITS AWESOME!!!! ANYTHING WITH IT!!!!! SOMETHING THAT WILL GET LOTS OF HITS, PRINTS. back in the 80's there was a similar pic, I cant remember who it was used in a magazine ad or something for along time and the quality wasnt near as good, you got the right guy(SVB) in a triple hott pool pic, I'd USE THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!! It puts the cool in pool, it makes it look more exciting, like snowboarding or something, dont let that shot just fade away, its too perfect!!!


On a side note Easy E and I are taking over the world, he was just there on a scouting mission. (inide joke-dont worry):)

I think the historical pic you are referring to is either Sigel or Varner. They both used to break like that.
 
Great Time

Justin,
I had a great time visiting with you, Chad and the rest of the crew.
Hope you guys enjoyed the grub, next year where talkin real cheese
steaks not the ones from Philly that everyone squawks about.

Yours pics are awesome, a TAR gallery would be very cool:cool:
The one of Busty in black and white is a classic shot.

Thanks for all the great events and the hard work that it takes to
bring this to your billiard breathren.

Whats up next? :D btw thanks for the swag

Later,
Doc

A lot of them broke like that. Even guys today who seem to lift their cue up actually drive into the bed just before bringing their cue up. But, Sigel was pretty extreme.

Justin,
How did Adam earn the nickname: "The Sleeve"?
Click to expand...
It was during a TAR broadcast from the Qlympics last year. Adam was playing Jason Klatt in some late night action after we had been there for about 10 days and everyone was good and loopy from no sleep. I was in the booth talking to the chat room and someone (maybe me I dont remember) declared that Adam had spent 19 years without a nickname and that was unacceptable. So we asked the guys in chat to throw out some suggestions.

Someone mentioned that every time Adam was on camera he was wearing long sleeves. So they start riffing on that. One guy posts up "The Long Sleeved Bandit" (I think Adam was winning at that point) then magic happened....... someone who has been lost to history posted simply:

"The Sleeve"

......and a legend was born. :D
 
Corey wanted a hard fast break here, hoping he would come up dry and get away from the table quickly..

I think someone may have sharked him....he sure looks like he smells something fishy. A lil slip when he let er rip.
 
Awesome photos. The B&W of Busty is exceptional.

Keep up the great work. Hope you guys are in KC again soon.

I thought EasyE was trying out for the Wolvereen role... even though Hugh Jackman has been doing a great job at it:p

pretty hard to be a big hairy american winning machine without the hairy part! hows the muffler! stillhanging in there:eek:
 
The classic bent shaft breaking picture was Sigel. Nice work, as always, Justin, you truly are a talented photographer, the camera definitely does not do all the work. I can take pitiful pictures with a 10,000 camera.

Nice work in PA guys, you truly do bring the best of pool to the masses at an incredible value.
