sportsSports don’t define us it is not what we live for. Michael Wilbon I don’t pay much attention to sports. I think that people who have played sports have an ability to relate to people because when you’re playing you have to work on teams and with opposing players. The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation – not where the action is taking place, but where it’s going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they’re going to be. I’m a huge fan of Chicago sports and Chicago food, and I love going home and my family is still there. I guess it’s pretty easy to have a normal life in Chicago. Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity. There’s something so insulting about the idea that including lots of people means mediocrity. Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan. People here don’t identify themselves by their sports team. I’ve been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other. I was certain I was going to do something in sports.
