The US Open Championships New York.
It was seven years since I stepped foot in Flushing Meadows, having decided to take a break from the Tennis circuit, a break I never planned to be so long, so my first day was very much feeling great to be back, however figuring out the little short-cuts to certain spots to shoot from,especially on Louis Armstrong Court.
Alot of new faces around the courts, however alot of familiar faces too, and it seemed everyone knew my name but for the life of me I had a number I couldn't remember their names. Shame on me!
Putting aside the crowd and overhead aircraft noise, the freezing temperature of the airconditioning in the media areas compared to the humidty outside, the US Open is great for having a great amount of freedom to shoot from almost any position, unlike some other Grand Slams.
Fabulous early evening light, long shadows and sunsets abound, the 2009 US Open was for me rolling back the seven years to when I was a regular on the circuit, and hopefully it was the start of my 'comeback'.
