Ewald Sadie - 2013 Photo Retrospective
2013 has been a great year for me. Lots of races and lots of new faces, but the biggest highlight by far was shooting at World Champs at Pietermaritzburg in August (as you'll see by the majority of images below). Rubbing shoulders with the best in the world, both athletes and photographers, was a humbling experience. Below is my selection of favorite shots from 2013, more or less in order as they happened.
Thanks to all that supported me during this year. 2014 will be bigger and better!

Some really great pics Ewald.
Seeing you work at PMB I realized that taking the pics is only half the job. Plenty time goes into getting things tweaked and uploaded ASAP to PB for all to enjoy.
All the best for 2014!

Not a single photo here could be described as just "good", these are all incredible and worthy of POD.

Seeing Greg hoisted by the crowd made me want to watch his world cup win again. The crowd's energy is powerful.
