In the beginning, Coupeville Sports had no photos.
I’m a writer, not a photographer, and when I started the blog in mid-August of 2012, several of the early stories ran without a single pic.
I also didn’t put people’s names in bold type yet, and there were a LOT of exclamation points … so, total freakin’ anarchy.
Things changed for the better after I latched on to Shelli Trumbull, the first photographer willing to toss me glossy pics with no money coming back.
In other words, she was a saint.
As we wander through a pandemic-ravaged land in 2020, let’s hop in the time machine and go back to 2012, where it all began.
