Growing up in New York City certainly had its advantages. For one, the access to great events in the city was just a ride away on the metro. You can say that I grew up at the US Open in Flushing Meadows. Over the course of twenty years, I worked and played at the venue. I would begin photographing at the event in my adulthood and this would inspire me to travel around the globe to capture premiere events on the ATP tour as well as at the Majors.

Sports photography is not my specialty, but I have been drawn to tennis since I was a teenager.  As a street photographer, moving into the sports world was a bit intimidating.  However, it has proven to be an exciting transition. The images taken were shot principally with Canon and Leica equipment.  In many ways, street photography has aided me in capturing crowds and faces. Yet, photographing action becomes a bit more technical and rapid fire.  This is where Canon excels over the Leica with its super focusing.
