Neil Leifer
Neil Leifer is regarded as one of the greatest sports photographers of all time. He was born December 28th, 1942 and is still alive today. Leifer would gain access to baseball games as a young boy in New York by wheeling handicapped people into the stadium. He would do this so he could photograph the players alongside the professional photographers with a free ticket. He became known as a "boy wonder" among those working at Sports Illustrated, and had his first cover by age 19 in 1962. He now has over 170 covers of the magazine under his belt. Leifer didn't just work for Sports Illustrated, however. He has published photos in Time, published several books, and is now creating films of his own. He has mostly retired from sports photography with the exception of boxing.
Neil Leifer's claim to fame is on the surface his career with Time and Sports Illustrated, but there's more. Leifer has a very distinct style. He doesn't leave art and creativity behind when he photographs sports. My favorite photo of his is this one.

Week 8 (First Try!)
These photos didn't turn out as well. I will have better action shots on Monday! Here are these anyway.

Sullivan Macintosh passes the paperball to Timothy Cruse while Jaime Lee helps. These actors were not allowed to use hands or arms to pass the ball, and had to creatively make ways to do so. |
