I am catching up on blog work from the summer as I’ve switched platforms to house my blog directly within my new website. Excuse me while I catch up on my backlog of work!
Before returning to to Arizona for the offseason, Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo stopped by Fenway Park to to catch up with the Red Sox content crew and pose for some portraits around the ballpark. Here’s my set of images, as well as a behind the scenes video I helped produce.

A day-night double header today! Lately, the pace for me has picked back up to pretty much what normal life was like before Covid. I am thrilled to be busy, but it’s taking me some getting used to after things were so slow for so long. I need to work back up to the stamina of the day-to-day grind. Either that or I’m just getting older.
