The world was a sphere of mysteries until I picked up a camera. It was like when Dorothy was transported to the land of Oz by a tornado and the world turned from black and white into color, except instead of walking out of a house, I walked out on the corner of Jackson and State.

Taking pictures is just an extension of myself. I love the human experience. Hearing new perspectives and learning about cultures, the arts, and how everything relates to everything. A camera is simply the lens through which I help myself do that. 

I am finding that sports is an excellent microcosm of the worlds we surround ourselves with and every pitfall and triumph can be found. It forces us to confront our biggest weaknesses and take advantage of our most powerful strengths.
