Poker face - or Pokemon face?
March 5, 2006
When I’m covering an event - like Saturday’s 2006 Kentucky State Pokemon Championship at A+ Comics & Collectibles - I’m always on the lookout for expressive people who will help visually represent the essence of that event. OK, that’s maybe a bit unfair to all of those unexpressive types who keep their emotions to themselves - they don’t often make for those story-telling photos I’m looking for.
But when I spot someone like Louisville’s Megan Kramer, whose intensity and competitiveness radiated from across the room, I lock on. Unfortunately, Megan lost her first match, but quickly rebounded after a very sportsman-like Benjamin Childress from Lexington congratulated her on a game well-played.
So to my editors - don’t send me to a poker tournament. Not unless Megan is playing.

Such a wonderful series of shots, so full of expression.
