About looking...

I shoot Major League Baseball quite a bit. I love shooting baseball. I love the sounds of the game, the feel of the game, and the look of the game.

Something that never ceases to cause me great wonder is all in the details. I go to a game and often don't even know what the final score is. The nature of a lot of my assignments allows me not to know, or care what the final score is until later, and I can easily get that information from sources other than the scoreboard. Because I often have that luxury, I can slow down a little and look at the details. The little things that all too often go unnoticed and unseen.

Then there's the essence of the game. The smell and sound of the game in a photograph. I would love to be able to capture the sound of a baseball hitting a catchers' glove in a photograph. The crack of a bat in an empty stadium is an amazing sound & I'd love to freeze it in an image.

In the mean time, there are those details. Batting helmets on the dugout steps. The big basket of batting practice balls. The batting gloves hanging off the knob of a bat in the rack. The details. It's all about looking....
