Exclusive Photo Essay by Richard Brill

 

2006 AVP Crocs Professional Volley Ball Tour

Presented by Cushman & Wakefield

Coney Island New York

August 17-20 2006

 

Women’s Games!

 

Many hours of hard work went into creating this photo essay for people to enjoy, so please respect my copyright!

 

Volleyball is a spectacular sport to watch and even more amazing sport to photograph.

This was my first attempt at covering such a large 4 day event under the hot summer sun trekking around in the sizzling sand but well worth it.

During my life, I met and photographed everyone from President George W. Bush to Howard Stern.

It was my honor and privilege to meet so many cool people dedicated to the sport of Volleyball.

People that strive to be the very best at what they do!

 

AVP signed a 3 year contract so they will be back next in Coney Island.

Don’t miss it!
