Spirit of the Sport
2022
California
Where sport meets spirit.
There are moments when you're drawn to something and can't quite explain why. You just know you're meant to follow it. This image is a reflection of that pull — both literally and figuratively.
Figuratively, it speaks to the emotional gravity of sport. How a simple object, like a net in the distance, can hold meaning, memory, and quiet power. Literally, it happened in a moment of stillness. We were sitting in a parking lot, waiting for the fog to lift, when I looked over and saw this lone basketball hoop standing in a vast, open field. I grabbed my camera without a second thought.
Some moments just ask to be captured.
