Learner Tien, US Open 2026. 1st Round, Stadium 17. Four frames from the match — the forehand, the quiet between points, the grip, and the outcome. Seven days at the US Open. 44 athletes. This is the third. @usopen #usopen #atptour #tennisphotography #usta

Gaël Monfils turned 40 the day I photographed him at the US Open, in the final year of a career I’ve followed for years. I was a fan before a photographer. His slides, leaps, and the way a stadium leans in are why. An honor I’ll never forget. Thank you, Gaël. #USOpen #Tennis

As a still photographer, I’ve been looking for a creative way to create short video content. How do folks feel about this? Feedback welcomed! #photography #tennis #SonyAlpha

This morning I captured the Comet Lemmon as it hurtles through our solar system. Here it is in conjunction with NGC 3185, A spiral galaxy 25 million light years away This comet changes from minute to minute, presenting new challenges in photographing it. More photos to come!

👀 Real experts vs. hype merchants has been around for decades — it’s never been about age. And this engagement-bait “insight”? Exhibit A. 🤡
17 year olds with AI are outshipping 40+ year old "experts" wild times nothing about this feels normal watching it all happen in real time
