Kathy Leistner, NYC 2007 Renegade, is in full swing this season capturing community sports stars. Inspired by the 1979 book, Rites of Fall - High School Football in Texas by Geoff Winngham, she photographs school sports beyond the traditional action shot.

The “King of Swing”
St. Dominic’s High School player Dan Lackner has earned a baseball scholarship to Texas A & M; he’s also a professional fashion model. This gem was shot for a feature story in the May issue of Long Island Ultimate Athlete Magazine. Lackner stands in the Charles Wang Sports Complex, Muttontown, New York.

Winning Hit
The Mepham High School baseball team celebrates a run that pulls them ahead of Calhoun, to ultimately win the game and a playoff spot. Shot on assignment for the Merrick Herald, one of the 15 publications in the Herald Community Newspapers group. Leistner has been photographing this team for five years.

The man on the left hails from Bolivia. The right is a buddhist monk in Asia. Both images were created by E. Sapwater from his world journeys.

Gisela Prishker is a charter Renegade who shoots fashion editorial for Somos Magazine, in addition to wedding photography. She’s based in Los Angeles. This moody shot was captured last October during the Renegade Photo Shoots: NYC.

Here’s the NYC 2007 team post-lunch. Next stop — paparazzi hosedown in Little Italy.
Time to find a celeb. A fabulous image from Eric Neilsen (on the right).
