I am shooting portraits of the members of the Burlingame High School basketball program. These first photos are of the 2009-2010 varsity boys. My son Sam’s a member of the JV team, which I’ll photograph soon. The “THUNDER” in the title is a reference to the GS Warriors’ mascot and his theme song by AC/DC. Go Panthers! 
As a photographer, I have had the benefit of learning from some true masters of my art, both directly and indirectly. I am very fortunate for this. But I have learned not only from the masters, but from you. And you. And her. And him. And hundreds of people who have unwittingly taught me something about how to extend my vision, how to see better. Thank you to all of you. And here I present the first of many installments of photographs I’ve made of so many of you practicing your art.
