My first job was at a small town newspaper – which is how I found myself suddenly spending every fall Friday night standing on the sidelines, listening to the smack of shoulder pads and photographing high school (American) football.
I never set out to be a sports photographer – in fact, I never really set out to be a photographer at all, but my first writing job was one that put a camera in my hands and, once I started, I found I never could really bear to put it down.
