I've been shooting professional sporting events for over three years, but none have been as emotionally fulfilling as the "True Blue" celebrity softball game at Yankee Stadium. The event supported the families of slain NYPD officers Rafael Ramos, Wenjian Liu and Brian Moore (the families were in attendance). Over 16,000 fans were in the stands...

The event was hosted by sports radio talk show hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton of WFAN. Many New York-area athletes, coaches, celebrities and politicians were in attendance, including former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, NJ Governor Chris Christie, beloved New York Yankees Joe Torre, Bernie Williams and Willie Randolph, former New York Mets John Franco and Lee Mazzilli, New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles, NY Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan, New York Knicks legend John Starks, Brooklyn Nets center Mason Plumlee and many more....

Being a lifelong, die-hard sports fan, "True Blue" was an absolute joy to shoot. The combination of shooting at Yankee Stadium (I've been a Yankees fan since childhood) and photographing favorite athletes and celebrities could not be beat. Plus, all the celebrities clearly enjoyed being part of "True Blue" as they were all smiles and good vibes throughout the night, often interacting with fans. A great night for a great cause!
