The 10 year mark was selected because it represents the anniversary of the magazine.<\/p>\n<p>So I spent a good amount of time going through old photos, finding my favorite ones.  Some of my earliest work (when I was a student at UNC) didn&#8217;t make the cut because those photos were taken using obsolete technology, or film as it&#8217;s more commonly known.   So my apologies to Mac Hammer, Judd Lattimore, Jeff Sonke and the others for leaving your photos out (my photos stunk then anyway).   I &#8220;went digital&#8221; in 2001 so I had about 7 years worth of photos to look at. Like the photos I took of UNC when I was a student, even some of the earlier digital stuff by my standards today is sub par crap that I would never confess to having taken. In 2001 I was in my 2nd year working for Georgetown University and covering a great lacrosse team until 2004 when I moved back to NC.  I had the opportunity to photograph and know some great Hoya lacrosse players like <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kyle_Sweeney\">Kyle Sweeney<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brodie_Merrill\">Brodie Merrill<\/a>.  Also caught his majesty <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mikey_Powell\">Mikey Powell<\/a> when he and the Syracuse Orange came to GU every other year.<\/p>\n<p>Going through the photos was time-consuming but fun.  When I first started with digital my archival techniques were poor and thus, many photos were uncaptioned.   Trying to ID players from 6 years ago proved near impossible.  Still, it was great seeing some of my old work and comforting to know that I&#8217;m (a little bit) better than 5 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Here is <a href=\"http:\/\/ps.accphotos.com\/c\/peyton\/gallery-show\/G0000wF11rsbPV.Q\">a link to some of the photos I submited to Inside Lacrosse for the contest<\/a>. At some point in the future I think they will run a &#8220;best of&#8221; photos in an issue.  In addition to sending photos that I thought were solid, I selected some photos of players like Brodie Merrill where the photos themselves weren&#8217;t stunning except for the fact that the the players themselves turned out to be stunning. Enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inside Lacrosse Magazine hosted a contest asking their photographers to submit their favorite lacrosse photos of the past 10 years.
