Chicago Tribune photographer Scott Strazzante discusses the joys and challenges of his sports photography work.
Since I was assigned my first Cubs’ game of the season last night, I figured I would knock out another neighborhood watch post. Obviously, I photographed Wrigleyville.
Above all else, my most enjoyable photo moments this past year happened as I practiced my street photography skills.
