Hallelujah! Baseball season has officially started in Pittsburgh!
I think I grow most as a photographer during the spring and summer. Shooting everyday and covering the same venue over and over pushes me to look for different pictures every game – to give the viewer something they haven’t seen in 80 other games during the season. It’s my opportunity to take chances and make images that hopefully stand out from the competition.
This year’s Opening Day game didn’t have any of the pictures last year’s did (fan running onto the field, diving catches, etc) but I was quite happy that my first remote at PNC Park worked out and captured the only scored run of the game.
I look forward to many, many more baseball games to come…
