Whit Vengeance, but I'm changing her name to Wit Vengeance because everyone thought the "e" fell off her first name - HA!

photographing Misato...

If I was a rollergirl, I would want to be Misato.
I met this camera candy girl at a Hellgate Rollergirl bout. She was a ref and my friend Andy and I couldn't stop looking at her. She has great style and is a fantastic skater. When I was in Spokane a few weeks ago, Misato and I had a little outdoor lifestyle shoot together. Here are some of the shots from that shoot.

Thank you Misato....

Snake Pit vs Pretty Deadly :: roller derby in Coeur d'alene, Idaho

Well, I branched out a little and photographed a bout without the Hellgate Rollergirls, OMG, I know, shocking. I missed my girls though, I didn't know what team to root for. It felt weird not to yell behind my camera, not to cry tears of pride (I can't go to parades because they make me cry from pride) and not to be worried.

Misato, one of the hottest rollergirls on the track, coached the Snake Pit ladies through the night in her snake shoes and snake dress.

I love this skating rink...super hot!

How cute is that...lil eff-er

Thank you Coeur d'alene for being a great host, I love your rink!
