Breaking up is never easy to do kids, but sometimes when all else fails – it’s the only option. I resuscitated Phamous back in 2007 with Steve Potter, when we decided to take the taboo name of Phamous and our love for photography and try to make something of ourselves. What came of it was nothing short of life lessons and an amazing adventure. I’ve traveled up and down the east coast, photographing paintball players in the NPPL (RIP), PSP, NEPL, NEXL, AXBL (RIP), CXBL, and NCPA. I’ve met hundreds of great people along the 4 year journey that took a small, two man photography operation and turning it into a national name at one point. I’ll always have crazy stories to tell of those adventures and the photos to back them up, never was there a dull moment at any event.
Unfortunately I can no longer make the commit to Phamous Media that I have in years past. Our goal was always to provide high quality, large quantity free work for everyone- I never believed in charging for my work no matter how much time went into it. As Phamous Media takes a turn in another direction, and I begin to start my career as a private investigator I feel now is the best time for me to part ways.
Like I said, I have met hundreds of people throughout the years but there a few I wanna thank here because without them- none of you would even know who Phamous Media was. Without Lenny Emery, Joseph Devaney, Cole Hubacz, Patrick Clark, Steve Potter, Tom Brierton & Brooke Hattan (Matts Outback) Lori & Anthony Miller (BP/NEPL) and Jeff Stien (NE Hurricanes) there would be no Phamous Media.
Thank you to everyone who supported Phamous Media and myself through kind words, putting out stickers on your gear, and rocking our shirts. It’s been a great experience and if anyone would like to contact me please feel free to email me.
