A player I personally admire and remember from watching the XSV movie, where you could see a young but eager to become a professional paintball player, is Nicky Cuba. He went from XSV to Ironmen to his current team, Infamous, that seems to have risen above their own status in the professional scene.
Cuba contributes to the paintball scene by being an example on and off the field to all of us. His grit shows us that if you want to get the job done, don’t be afraid to do it yourself with all you got.
A true paintball Legend.

We are currently working on editing more photos of other teams and players. Do you have suggestions for a Legend or other series? Leave a comment below or contact me on http://facebook.com/handytims.
awersome picture!
nice editing on the photo
How does “having a passion for photography” make you a photographer???!!!! Are you serious? So you bought a camera, and now you’re a pro? Do you have any formal training, do you even know how a camera works, or what the zone system is??? It’s people like you that have destroyed an industry!!!! Have you ever shot a roll of film? I can see by your photograph of Nicky Cuba that you don’t have the first clue on how to light a photograph….keep on calling yourself a photographer until the day you meet a real one…….YOU SUCK!
But I am a pro? I have a 200,- euro second hand camera, I always take my photos on sports. portrait or automatic mode and I charge 100 euro for a wedding shoot?
Anyway, I understand what u are saying mr bleep, but if you knew my work than you would know that I have a large amount of respect for all "pro photographers out there".
This picture is an edited picture from a photo shot by Gary Baum, I have his permission and this shot (like almost every one in this serie) was done in daylight, at an event during an reallife action Nicky Cuba did at that moment. So this was not a staged studio shot.
I do some editing work because I love to edit but also because this is may way to contribute in giving paintball the exposure it deserves. On personal matter I am learning photography from the guys who are allready doing this for years on and of the field.I do know about the zone system by adams and archeradn yes I shot a roll of film. If that is your definition of a pro than maybe I am really a pro!
Thank you for that.
ps maybe you should talk to someone about your personal issues?
Haters are the biggest fans Handy Tims

Dear Mr My*censored*,
I think you should have a look at some of the other pictures Handy Tims has edited for social paintball and paintball as a whole. He is an incredibly talented photographer and does some seriously nice editing. No doubt there are better photographers out there as well as better graphic artist but to say he sucks based on one picture is incredibly short sighted.
I think you are just trolling so I am not even going to waste more energy on refuting your claims then I already have.
Haters gonna hate! Handy, keep up the good work, is really all I want to say. 😀
Hahahahaha what a dick!!!!
The usual trash-talk of someone who never did nothing good life.
“I love Uncle Nicky!” Bebe said. Thank you, Handy, for volunteering your time to create such artistry. Making a Gary Baum image look even better by giving it some pizzazz! You are appreciated. <3
