Minus the action

CPOY 2009, Sports Action, 1^st Place

The "Minus the Action" project began when I was in college. One of my friends at school, Ryan Henriksen, was photographing high school sports for the town's local newspaper. I really had no interest in photographing sports, but I would go along with him to the football games for something to do. And I found myself not really photographing the game at all, but everything that was going on around it.
