Basketball Photo Essay - The Photographic Journal

Southern California Basketball Culture

Over the past couple years I’ve been quietly working on a series of photographs about the unique basketball culture that exists in Southern California. It’s been an incredibly fun project and a huge contrast to the American Backcourts photographs of hoops from far off places all across the country. So it’s great to see the series featured on The Photographic Journal - a website that puts together beautiful photo essays. Click HERE to check it out.

Basketball Culture Photography - Prints - Wall Art

There’s always free entertainment going on in Venice Beach, especially so when the VBL finals are going down. It’s a show from beginning to end. The games were very physical and fun to watch as was the dunk contest. Ron Artest aka Metta World Peace and Steve Francis were both there to judge and Compton Av performed at half court before the championship game. As usual I’m more interested in what’s happening around the court than the actual game when it comes to photos. So if I’ve done my job correctly this set of images will give you a feeling for what it’s like to be there.
