Sports impacts on society, identity, passions and for better or worse, even wardrobes. Sports allow people to express where they are from, what matters to them and how they have fun and photographing the weird side of sports is what Sol Neelman loves. Over the past five years, he has travelled the world seeking out the weird and wacky in sports where imagination has no boundaries. Whether it's urban golf, cardboard tube fighting, Godzilla wrestling, lingerie football, Segway polo or drag queen softball, this body of work documents events that are very weird!

About the Author
Sol Neelman (b. 1970, USA) is a failed athlete turned sports photographer living in Portland, Oregon. A journalism graduate from the University of Oregon, he began his newspaper career soon after not being selected in the 1994 NBA draft. Three years photographing at a small, community paper in McMinnville, Ore. led to seven years of service at a major metro, The Oregonian. In 2007, he was part of a Pulitzer Prize-winning team recognized for Breaking News Reporting. Soon thereafter, he left his staff position at The O to pursue a photo book project on sports culture around the world. His work has appeared in National Geographic, ESPN the Mag, SI, Rolling Stone, People, Newsweek, and TIME.
