Synopsis
Sol Neelman is surely one of the most unusual sports photographers in America: he has a passion for offbeat sports people play in their spare time, which he subsumes them under the blanket label 'Weird Sports'. One thing is especially important to Neelman: to convey the fun the players are having - outfitting themselves, playing, and being watched. During his former career as a professional sports journalist, he encountered mostly the earnestness, ambition, and commercialization that are the distinguishing features of today's world of pro sports.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Sol Neelman ist sicherlich einer der ungewöhnlichsten Sportfotografen Amerikas: Seine Leidenschaft gilt den Sportarten, die Menschen in ihrer Freizeit neu erfunden. Er subsummiert sie frei unter dem Label Weird Sports, zu Deutsch: bizarre, eigenartige, komische Sportarten. Neelman ist vor allem eines wichtig: Den Spaß zu vermitteln, den die Akteure haben beim Verkleiden, Spielen und sehenwerden. Während seiner früheren Karriere als professioneller Sportjournalist begegneten ihm vor allen Dingen der Ernst, der Ehrgeiz und der Kommerzialismus, durch den sich der Profisport heutzutage auszeichnet. Seinem inneren Ruf folgend wandte sich Neelman schließlich den sogenannten Funsportarten zu, und hat es seither keinen Tag bereut. Auf sein erstes Buch Weird Sports(Kehrer 2011), mit dem Neelman in Medien weltweit Aufsehen erregte, folgt nun die Fortsetzung, in der es wieder einige verrückte Ideen und sensationelle Fotos zu bestaunen gilt: Planwagen-Rennen, Basketball in Damenunterwäsche, Fahrrad-Weitwurf, Froschhüpfen, Farbenrennen, Live Monster Wrestling, Gabelstapler-Bowling, Wasserbombenkämpfe, Cowboy Downhill, Barhocker-Skirennen, Quidditch, Einrad-Polo, Indoor-Fallschirmspringen u.v.m.
