Now that the first half of the baseball season has come and gone I figured I would post some of my favorite images from the season thus far. Hasn’t been as good of a season for images as I was hoping for but it could have certainly been much worse so I shall shut up!

Over a month ago I got a call from an editor at ESPN the Magazine inquiring if I was available to do a shoot of the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb who was off to a spectacular 8-0 start. I was very happy to get a shot at this gig since nearly all of my assignments for ESPN was for strictly action photography, this shoot would be my chance to show the editors that I can be more than a one trick pony!
The highlight of the shoot was without a doubt gonna be the unprecedented access that myself, ESPN baseball writer Buster Olney, a producer and a video cameraman would have as we documented Webbs daily routine at the field on his pitching day as well as his 4 non pitching days between starts.
After a long and tiring day at the US Open in San Diego I flew home for a few hours of sleep and woke up early the next morning to go shoot a 3 game series between the Atlanta Braves and the Texas Rangers at the gorgeous Arlington Ballpark. I haven’t gotten much stock on Chipper Jones or Josh Hamilton the past few years so I needed some images of them for my archive so shooting this series was a no brainer. Not only was the stadium gorgeous but it had really nice light along with good shooting spots. I didn’t get any spectacular images but I left the state with a ton of good stock that will certainly pay off in the near future and on down the road. Plus I got my fix of sweet tea at all the restaurants and fast food joints I hit up during the trip. Next stop Iowa!
