A very interesting story about Northeastern University’s Matthew Arena in Boston. It is the oldest indoor hockey rink still in use in the world. Formally known as the Boston Arena, it was the home of the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins.

New England Patriot football player Jarvis Green photographed at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA for SOBeFiT Magazine.

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!

I have wanted to photograph Dick and Rick Hoyt ever since I heard about their story. They are a father and son running team that participates in triathlons and marathons including Boston. What makes them so unique is that the son Rick is suffers from cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound. He is unable to move his limbs or speak, but his mind is sharp. Team Hoyt as they are called have competed in more than a thousand races since 1977.  They raise money through running and speaking engagements for the Hoyt Fund which enhances the lives and mobility of people with disabilities. A truly inspirational story.

A photo of mine from the 2009 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA was selected for the cover of Lacrosse Magazine! The cover story was about how Matt Abbott and his Syracuse Orange won the Division I championship game beating Cornell in the most amazing come-from-behind victory I have ever witnessed. You can see the Orange score four goals to win 10-9 in the last 3:50 minutes on YouTube. This was my second year covering the tournament for Lacrosse Magazine.

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.
