gene

[Gina Davis]

Awesome pics as usual guys!!! Wanted to chime in here and give props to Body Tech's own Shannon Young. She was first in the callouts for the middles and we are super proud of her up here in OKC land. Looks like the NPC is finally getting the placings right these days. Shannon won the light-heavy division at the Oklahoma State Championship just last weekend, so I am sure she is riding on a cloud about now! On with the show....bring us home ANOTHER trophy Shannon!!! If you would like to know more about Shannon, visit: http://www.thelaststronghold.com

[Crystal Corner]

I am so happy for Amy! She is so deserving

Thank you for the pic of Randi, she is another one of my clients and this is the first time I am seeing these suits on these girls! Dying to see Amy in the purple 2pc. Also I did a very unique 2pc for Stacey Kisting...man I wish i were there right now, LOL :p


thanks gene, glad to have found this forum!

[Crystal Corner]

Class D first callout


Man I can't decide who i would like to see take this class

I am a big fan of Val's overall package, she looks so natural and pretty, but I also think ali brings the total package.

[Liftingchic]

Thanks for adding pics Gene! very cool hun

[Gina Davis]

Holy crap!!! Howard just got the phone call...SHANNON YOUNG WON THE OVERALL!!! For those of you that do not know, Howard Huddleston owns and operates Body Tech Gym in Oklahoma and was responsible for both Carri Ledford and myself going Pro last year...now Shannon takes Juniors under his guidance. The guy can't miss!!! So proud of her and so honored to be a part of this magical group! Unbelievable!!!

Hiya chiq!! nice to see ya here ;)

[Tre]

James - WOW at that shot of Dorothy with the make-up in hand. I think you're the first to ever take shooting by the 'grey thing' to an entirely different level - most impressive! Looks like you've got the hang of the new camera already...nice nice indeed. Looking forward to more great work, man.

[Maxt]

How were those guys about letting you guys take pictures of the show? Were any photographers banished from the venue for having camera bags, tripods or for taking professional photography?

Thanks Tre! You know I'm "The man standing next to 'The Man'" around here (lol). But it's great to 'finally' have a camera that allows a little self expression!

I knew that someday that 'grey thing' would pay off!!! ha

[Danitza]

James...those pics of Dorothy Trojanowicz are AWESOME!!! You did a fabulous job!! (I guess she helped out with the stunning looks)....either way....good job!! ;)

[genex]

James has always had an eye for composition so now that he's got better gear he's really coming into his own. :D

[James]

James...those pics of Dorothy Trojanowicz are AWESOME!!! You did a fabulous job!! (I guess she helped out with the stunning looks)....either way....good job!! ;)

Thanks Danitza! Yes, for sure Dorothy is a gifted model! I definatly felt like a 'passenger' working with her! You just hang on for the ride! ;)

So G is OK now the official FBB State :D

[greg]

The best discover is Dorothy Trojanowicz ! This woman is absolutely fantastic.
But many girls looked stunning and there are a lot I didn't knew before watching the pics from the show.
I have one thing to ask James : could you please associate the numbers they had with their names because there a 2 or 3 dozens I don't know :(
Thanks

[genex]

Since we are not members of the official media the competitor #s are not distributed to us so we have to scrounge to get them. We can post the scoresheets but those are handwritten and it's hard to even read some of the names/numbers.

Sorry about that.

[genex]

OK I just posted the bodybuilding scoresheets on the contest report page at the bottom:
http://www.ftvideo.com/genex/results_05/jrnats/

Click on that blue thing with parenthesis around it next to the bodybuilding header in the results table (gotta fix that color issue) :)

gene

[Jodi]

Gene, do you have the scoresheets for figure?

[Jodi]

Oh, I got the pictures you sent me. You're amazing!!!!

[Brit Boy]

Krissy looks fantastic, the more competitions she does the better for both her experience and self confidence. It won't be long before she gets her pro card with her professionalism and great genetics.

Ross :cool: :cool:

[greg]

Thanks Gene ;)

[hans]

Finally is Christina Taylor from Kentucky. She was a National Level cheerleader who now is a personal trainer and FBB. A very interesting person!

Just to let you all know, I'm just working on a profile of Christina right now. we should have it up very soon.

Just to let you all know, I'm just working on a profile of Christina right now. we should have it up very soon.

Hans I figured that she got her tatoos after she cheered, but find out what school she cheered for, would you please?

[Gina Davis]

I am really not sure about Michelle doing the USA. She is from OK, but not affiliated with the Body Tech crew. If I hear anything, I will let you know.

GINA = INSOMNIAC............. :p

[hans]

I figured that she got her tatoos after she cheered, but find out what school she cheered for, would you please?

Slight misunderstanding here, Christina didn't cheer for any university - just from grade school to high school. Here's what she told me: "My problem was that I would not go up in stunts. I am deathly afraid of heights. It only took one time of those girls dropping me on my head to do that!"

Hans

[Jodi]

Hey, everyone!!! I wanted to share a FEW of my favorite pics that Gene shot in Chicago at the Jr. Nationals. I hope you guys enjoy!!!!
