Been a while, eh?
So LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and I were there together hanging out and....well, there really isn't going to be a time I get to say that again, so I'm going to take advantage now.
I was lucky enough to be part of the huge team (Myself, Gary Bogdon, Nat Butler, Bob Leverone, John Loomis, Landon Nordeman, Mark Peterson, Josh Ritchie, Anthony Suau, Nathaniel Welch) that the fine folks at ESPN the Magazine put together for their latest One Day, One Game series. The point is to give fans a glimpse into everything that it takes for one single game to be put on with vignettes from every angle imaginable. It was one of my most fun shooting days ever, and I don't think I can really go back to "normal" access after this. Of course I will, but now will at least have a hard time wondering why I can't come back into the locker room and photograph a player in the ice bath.
Out of the many talented photographers they had covering this game versus the Chicago Bulls, my assignment was to be in the Miami Heat locker room which was a blessing to have a 1) room covered in red 2) insane access and 3) plenty of things happen I've never been witness to. Half the time it was just me and whatever superstar player happened to pop into the room. Very quiet, intimate, and subtle shooting - which is everything you would expect a NBA game to not be. The calm before the storm. I shared some tattoo war stories with a player here, a fist bump with another, but for the most part it was very much myself, some eye contact, and nods of approval before I shot.
Every photographer had a place, an assignment and it was truly a team effort between not only all the photographers, but the editors (thanks Jim!), reporters, assistants, and The Miami Heat staff and NBA that made it happen. Very cool to see it all come together in one great issue, which is on newsstands tomorrow - so go check it out! The ESPN the Mag online presentation has all sorts of online content from the other photographers as well. Definitely worth a look-see.
