Women's Beach Volleyball
If I got to have one wish granted in this life, it would be to play at the Olympic Finals in front of the Eiffel Tower in women's beach volleyball. Witnessing one of my favorite teams (Brandie Wilkerson and Melissa Humaña-Paredes from Canada) battle it out against Brazil in the finals was nothing short of spectacular. I'm so grateful I got to capture these formidable athletes, their grace and power.
"We showed a lot of people what’s possible and we showed a lot of people what just pure heart and grit and the intangibles of sport means. It doesn’t matter what your numbers are, what your data is, if you’re just going to fight to the very end. I think that’s what will help win your games."
