It’s been truly rewarding for me not only to take pictures, but also to produce something that he and the rest of my family enjoy. When I left home for college, I searched for a way to maintain my passion. Fortunately, through one of my profes- sors and friends of friends I was able to find my way to The Observer, which was in need of photographers. I happily joined the team and photographed my first event: softball. The first long walk with 15 pounds of camera from South Dining Hall to the field was just the beginning of a dedicated sports photography routine I came to de- velop. During my first semester on the job, I gradually shifted towards photographing soccer. I covered most of the soccer games and even had the opportunity to travel to Pennsylvania to photograph the men’s soc- cer national championship game. Overall, becoming an amateur sports photographer has been a great experience for me. Continuing my passion, nurturing my love of sports and traveling have been the perks of the job for me, and I look for- ward to continuing to work on my craft.
