Ideally, you now have an idea of how I see the game.
The photos below (Rwanda- Left, Dominican Republic- Center, Nationals Park- Right) are from my three of my most influential experiences in photography.
Most recently, my four weeks in the Dominican Republic showed me I’m capable. Living in a country where I don’t speak the language, I didn’t have any connections, and had never solo traveled was absolutely a stretch. And with that said, it worked out. Over the course of my trip: I shot 10 Dominican Summer League Games, multiple “street practices” with the children of Boca Chica, and the 2025 DSL All Star Game.
My time in Rwanda with Bruce Thorson was what I consider to be my first real time outside of the country. With other ASU students, I spent three weeks in Kigali, Rwanda shooting basketball and the Rwanda Hope Club, a group that gathered and taught children how to roller skate.
Thanks to Amanda Bowen and Jessica Carnivale, I was credentialed for the Nationals August 5th game against the Athletics. Having grown up going to Nationals game, this was truly a full-circle moment for me and my career. This came four days after my D.R. adventure.
