A Look Back At 2009: Sports Edition pt.1

A to Z's
At the Sun, we have sports feature called "A to Z" on high school athletes who according to their coaches, are the top athletes on their team during the season. These athletes are asked a question from A to Z These are a few sports portraits I really liked that I shot in 2009.

Known as one of the fastest athletes in the state, Eastside High School senior sprinter John Little at the University of Florida Pressly Stadium. The concept behind this was to create the look that he is here but gone.....FAST!! The second photo is a shot from the first track meet I ever shot. Little is the one in the center. He won the race.



Santa Fe High School junior guard C.J. Wakeley at the Santa Fe High gymnasium. C.J. was really hesitant to sit "Above The Rim" but I finally got him up there......but it took 2 coaches & 3 teammates to get him down. I have fun doing these lol.

Eastside High girls basketball point guard Umekie DeBose at the Eastside High School gymnasium. I chose this portrait because of the composition between the Umekie, the basketball and the Eastside Ram logo in the background all in focus. The basketball makes the ram appear to have basketball on the mind.
