MIL Wrestling at Lahainaluna – February 18, 2012


I was finally able to attend a regular season wrestling match this year. Fortunately, I had the foresight to take choke pictures at their preseason tournament in December. This time, I found myself back at the dreary dungeon of a gym up in Lahainaluna, shooting into the sunlight peeping through the windows, bumping up the ISO’s to crazy numbers to make the pictures come out. The Lahainaluna wrestlers did well and I even got one of my photos published in the Maui News.
