Why I do it


Everyone wants to photograph men's sports, you can't throw a rock without hitting a photojournalist at a college football or men's basketball game. These women come to play, these women come to play hard!







If you get the opportunity to see women athletes doing what they love never pass it up, the tickets are a fraction of the cost of the men's games and you may find yourself hooked also. Sure they get the poorly lit gyms and it makes it harder on me but I find it rewarding. These are my shots, taken long after the local media took their 3 "news" shots and left. My shots went to the schools and student-athletes, hopefully they will live long after the media coverage.

2. Thank you!
struggled for two days in that gym, fluorescent light can suck at times.

3. I'm not a big sports fan, but you're an excellent photographer.
Recommended.
