Curtis vs. Todd Beamer Basketball

I photographed Curtis High School vs. Todd Beamer HIgh School varsity basketball game at at Todd Beamer High School in Federal Way, Wash., on Tuesday, Jan. 19, 2010 for The New Tribune.

The Shoot:
The third-ranked Curtis Vikings defeated the Todd Beamer Titans on their home court during a South Puget Sound League South match-up.

The Image:
Using a wide angle lens changes the perspective for under the hoop shots and gives the reader the feeling of being in the action. In this image Curtis forward Julian Vaughn drives to the hoop for a reverse lay up.
