THE
MOUNTAINEERS

Photographing a Little League baseball game is a very challenging prospect. Except for the pitcher and batter, all of the action occurs very quickly with little time to compose the image. I took this photo in the late afternoon, the warm light low on the pitcher, revealing intense concentration on his face.

Image taken at South Highline American Little League in Sea Tac, Washington, April 1999.
