I began photographing athletic events for the fun of it in my retirement from business in 1997 and soon began to believe I had a knack for it. I was getting favorable responses from coaches and parents and from the photography editor of a local newspaper. My dad had been a coach and teacher. I grew up on athletic fields and have been involved with sports all my life. It is in my blood. I live in an area with several colleges, private schools, high schools, horse farms, etc., with athletic activities galore. It has been a wonderful confluence of events, having time and opportunities on my side. In the summer of 2001 a fly fishing picture, “Mountain Laurel Fishing,” won second place in an art show, The Great River, Images of the Connecticut River Valley, in Greefield, Massachusetts. I was amazed. This was a show of fifty-two pieces of several types of art: oil paintings, watercolors, scuplture. |
