Teammates. The word implies membership, but there is often something more. There is a shared experience. Often hardships as well as success. At it's highest, it indicates a bonding, a tie not easily broken. Each teammate a unique but integral part of a greater whole. The team becomes part of each member's own identity.
Bonds like those developed on athletic teams during the most challenging years of life, as youth metamorphasises into adult, can last a lifetime.
I think of my older brother's best friends, the ones he has been able to count on when the chips are down, have been the high school teammates. The guys who tasted victory and endured defeat together, are still there for each other, 40 years later.
Teammates. It's a relationship. Sometimes, for a lifetime.
I just finished producing a custom "team picture" project for the First Baptist Academy Girls High School Basketball Team. I invite you to take a look at how we combined a team picture with action shots into one piece, that will hold memories together for a lifetime. Choose the "Team Pix" button on the menu bar at naplespix.com to see how they came out.
If you would like to honor your team with something special, email me and we can talk about your ideas, and see if we can make them happen.
And please remember to email me for any of your photographic needs. If I may say, we are quite versatile and creative. We not only shoot sports, but can help with personal, family, event, and commercial photography as well.
Thanks,
Mike
