USA Today Clip- MIT Student DeRon Brown

I photographed MIT student and football player DeRon Brown for USA Today last Thursday. Brown is leading div. III running back in rushing yards averaging 170 per game and an incredible student. After meeting Brown I was left thinking to myself, no one person should be able to choose if they would like to be a pro athlete or a rocket scientist!

My trusty assistant Matt and I were at Gillette Stadium yesterday to photograph a New England Patriot football player for an editorial magazine. I will post images and the tear sheet after it runs.

Red Sox Left Fielder Jason Bay for the Sporting News

I photographed Red Sox player Jason Bay at Fenway Park for the Sporting News last month. It was a truly incredible experience to meet the “new” left fielder and photograph him inside the manual scoreboard room and in front of the Green Monster for the Sporting News. They used the second photo below for the lead of a story about the top stadiums in Major League Baseball. The issue is currently on news stands. I was happy to see Jason Bay named as a starter recently to the 2009 All Star gamer. He was extremely friendly and accommodating. Afterwards I hung out for the beginning of batting practice and got some shots in the dugout of Dustin Pedroia and Julio Lugo which are below.
Special thanks to Pam Ganley of the Boston Red Sox for all of her help during the shoot.

New England Patriot Fred Taylor for the Sporting News

I had the pleasure of photographing New England Patriot football player Fred Taylor at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA earlier this month for the Sporting News Magazine. The story was about Hall-of-Fame caliber players who spent their whole careers with one team and now are playing their first year for another franchise. Taylor was a Jacksonville Jaguar from 1998-2008. He could not have been a nicer guy. Thanks a lot to Casey O’Connell of the Patriots for all of his help!
