Boston Red Sox Photos: Saturday, May 17, 2014 vs. Detroit Tigers.
Last night was a tough one for the Red Sox, as they faced the Detroit Tigers in the first series at Fenway Park since the American League Championship Series last post season.
Here are a few selects from the game. Hopefully a better show tonight!
Photos: 2013 World Series – Game 3.
It was an absolutely crazy ending to a back and forth game three of the World Series out here in St. Louis. I don’t know what to make of how the game ended, and don’t have much time to post about it right now.
Here are the photos I shot from my elevated position along the first base line at Busch Stadium. We’ll see how it goes tonight. Hoping for a Red Sox win to even the series!

It’s hard to believe, but the Boston Red Sox are going to the World Series. As I’m sure you can imagine, things are absolutely crazy around here in preparations for game one tomorrow night, so I don’t have a lot of time to collect my thoughts and write them here.
I will say, though, that getting to this point has been a dream of mine since I started shooting baseball four seasons ago. I never thought it would come so soon, so I don’t take this opportunity for granted at all. Many journalists go their entire careers working to cover something like the World Series, so regardless of whether the Sox win or lose, I’m thrilled to be here.
When it’s all over, I’ll find time to post more, but for now, here are the photos from the clinching Game Six of the American League Championship Series. I decided to pick up in the seventh inning, when Shane Victorino hit an incredibly timely and dramatic go-ahead grand slam home run to essentially punch Boston a ticket to the World Series. The rest go in chronological order throughout the end of the game and into the post-game celebrations.
Here’s hoping for a World Series Championship in Boston! More to come this week.
Photos: ALCS Game One – Boston Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers.
We’re underway at Fenway Park for the 2013 American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Detroit Tigers.
Everyone always talks about the capabilities of the Detroit pitching staff, and last night was proof of why they do so. This high powered Red Sox offense was held to just one hit through nine innings, as the Tigers were won 1-0 in game one. It’s hard to win a game on one hit, and from a photo standpoint, it’s hard to make really good pictures when not much is happening. In the way of action, things were very slow last night.
Still, we’re looking to tell the story of the game and to capture the atmosphere and feel inside the stadium, so that’s what I’ve tried to post here.
Here’s hoping things go better tonight for game two! And for less TV air time for this photographer than last night.
Photos: ALDS Game One – Boston Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Rays.
There’s nothing more exciting than playoff baseball, and I’m really pumped that we have it here in Boston this year.
Yesterday was Game One of the American League Division Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays, and from a Sox photographer’s point of view, things couldn’t have gone better. Although there wasn’t anything to out of the ordinary in the way of pictures, the team came out and dominated with a 10-2 win to begin the series.
I shot the game from one of two temporary, auxiliary photo pits built for the postseason on the inside ends of each dugout. It’s a nice luxury having those extra pits, which give us a different angle than we normally have during the regular season.
This is a selection of photos from both the pre-game Boston Marathon tribute ceremony as well as the game itself.
Game Two is tonight!
Boston Red Sox Photos: Thursday, August 29, 2013 vs. Baltimore Orioles.
A bit late on these, but here are a few photos from the last of the Red Sox three game series against the Orioles last week. I took out the 600mm lens again for this game, so it was interesting to be forced to shoot everything really tight. It’s certainly a challenge and makes you think differently about framing and composition.
Boston Red Sox Photos: Sunday, August 4, 2013 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks.
Here are a few photos from the end of quite a busy home stand here at Fenway Park. Aside from the Victorino play above, there wasn’t much out of the ordinary that happened yesterday. These are mostly basic stock action photos.
Time for a few days without baseball to shoot.
Photos: Red Sox Outfielder Shane Victorino Celebrates National Hot Dog Day.
I’m finally finding time to catch up on my recent Red Sox work after a busy week and weekend. This first post goes back to last Tuesday, which also happened to be National Hot Dog Day.
Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino made an appearance at the Long Wharf in downtown Boston during a Hot Dog Day celebration sponsored by Kayem Franks (more commonly known as ‘Fenway Franks’). To recognize the day, Kayem and Victorino announced a “lucky dog” contest, during which a winning hot dog recipe was chosen to be sold during games at Fenway Park. Shane deemed the ‘Big Puppi’ hot dog the winner. Here is the story.
This was a fun event to shoot.
Boston Red Sox Photos: Sunday, June 9, 2013 vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
For me, Sunday was more about what happened before the game than the game itself, which I was okay with after shooting two really long games the day before.
The graduating class of Red Sox Scholars were on hand to be recognized during a ceremony before the game, which proves to be a busy day for everyone involved every year. Our photo crew was in early in the morning to shoot head shots of all the graduates and inductees across the street at Fenway High School. After shooting those, we broke down our lights and were quickly back over to the stadium to shoot group photos in front of the scoreboard followed by the pre-game ceremony itself.
A busy end to a long weekend. Here are the highlights from the day.
Boston Red Sox Photos: Thursday, May 9, 2013 vs. Minnesota Twins.
Back at it at the Park last night, this time from first base pit to shoot game action between the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins. There were a few strange plays sprinkled throughout the game, which I posted here, but otherwise, not a whole lot was out of the ordinary during this game.
It was good to get back into the groove of shooting action, though. Now, if we could just get some warmer weather!
