And So It Begins Again...Throw'N Down Thursday at Wild Wing Cafe {ALM Photo, Knoxville Professional Photographers}

As many people know Allan has been involved in the Knoxville wakeboarding scene for a long time. Even before he co-owned the area's premier wakeboard and boat shop in Karns, Allan was one of the first riders to get others interested in the sport during its infancy. It was only natural for Allan to combine his passion for photography with his love of action sports, such as wakeboarding, and develop it into a unique niche when he began operating his professional photography business, ALM Photo, several years ago. It's commonplace to find both Allan and Lisa at wakeboarding events not just in Knoxville, but the entire Southeast. Loading up the Prius with the photographic necessities and hitting the road is all in a day's work for ALM Photo even if they are just shooting for fun like they do at Throw'N Down Thursday at Wild Wing Cafe in Farragut.

Many thanks to Chris Moon of KnoxWake and all the other sponsors for providing the wakeboarders of Knoxville with so many great opportunities to get together and keep the sport alive and better than ever. Check out page 106 of the June 2009 issue of Wakeboarding magazine for more about the Knoxville wakeboarding scene. And mark your calendar for June 27 and 28 when the Pro Tour comes to downtown Knoxville for some throw'n down of epic proportions.

ALM Photo :: KnoxWake Riders Voice Awards

Allan and I attended the KnoxWake Riders Voice Awards at Wild Wing Cafe last night and I spent the evening with camera in hand to capture the event. It was an awesome event with all the local riders who have been keeping the Knoxville wakeboarding and wakeskating scene on the map all season coming out for a night of fun and acknowledgement by their peers. There were so many great photographs from the evening but I am only posting a choice few here on the blog. Check out all of the photos on Flickr.
Allan has had a long history with the Knoxville watersports scene and we are thrilled to see KnoxWake continue to keep the enthusiasm going. Allan and I are looking forward to the next Knoxville watersports event, Eskimo Escapades, on January 10, 2009. See you all then!!

Wild Wing Cafe - August 22, 2008

Justin Jenkins goes big on the kicker after dark at Wild Wing Cafe

This past week marked ALM Photo's last trek out to Wild Wing Cafe in Farragut at Campbell Station Road to photograph the wakeboarders hitting the rail for Throw'N Down Thursday. Allan and I have enjoyed coming out each week our schedule would allow to shoot the action on the rail, slider and this last week, the kicker, as well as get some up close and personal shots of the riders, their families and fans. We have met some many fun and exciting people and get great pleasure out of sharing our photography with everyone. Due to a paying photography gig in Florida, we will miss the end of the season final competition, but we will be there in spirit for all the riders who have been Throw'N Down hard each and every Thursday all summer. Look for us at Rail O'Ween on October 25th in World's Fair Park...we'll be the ones with the cameras...catching the good, the bad and the ugly while you hit the rails. A special thanks to everyone who has checked out our photographs on our website, on Flickr, MySpace, or Facebook.

Thanks to Chris Moon for giving ALM Photo some press for our coverage of the Knoxville wakeboarding scene.
