... while in Melbourne, Australia, I got to shoot pictures at a practice of the Melbourne Grind Girls, the Victorian Roller Derby League in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. They are a pretty new roller derby league that has yet to play a full bout. Their training is pretty serious so i am sure they are well on their way. They certainly had the most fit looking members out of any league i have seen. The austere walls of the training space did not lend to capturing the kind of panning motion shots like i wanted. Catching a roller derby team in yet another (barely) foreign country was a nice touch to my Australia expedition.
