| Introduction | Mr. Trouble never hangs around! This one has traveled to over 60 ball parks in 30 states to photograph not players nor the sunsets but the people that inhabit the seats. Picturing the diversity of the fan base is my main theme. May the circle be unbroken. To date, my photographs have been published in 12 books. In addition, I have been shown in many galleries and also published in many magazines, most recently, ESPN Magazine. I had spent much time in Memphis with my friend and mentor, Dr. Ernest Withers, until his passing in October of 2007. He was, without argument, the greatest African-American photographer that ever lived and one of the greatest of all American photographers. I became a better man and a different photographer after I met him. May he rest in peace. |
