San Diego paper features Bud Held after M80 vault WR

My sportswriter friend Don Norcross wrote this nice story about Bud Held for today’s Union-Tribune. But the paper didn’t have room to run the photos my wife, Chris, and I shot at Spokane, where Bud raised the M80 world record in the vault. Well, that omission is remedied here. Chris took the close-up shot below with our 200mm zoom lens. I used a wide-angle lens to get the series that follows. All the images are from Bud’s third-try WR of 8-8 1/4. Meanwhile, I have hundreds of other photos from Spokane to sort, crop and resize for a long-overdue photo gallery. Stay tuned.

    Nice photos, Ken! I know you didn’t select Bud’s outfit, but the blues of his uniform and shoes play nicely with the blue sky and make an excellent contrast with the crossbar. Looking forward to seeing your Spokane gallery.
