I have made no secret of the fact that we are huge LA Galaxy fans in our household (which you can read more about here and here), so when David was presented with the opportunity to shoot Sunday’s LA Galaxy match against NYCFC he jumped at the chance. Getting to shoot the game on the field alongside LA Galaxy team photographer, Robert Mora, was a dream. David picked up some great tips and invaluable lessons in sports photography, but more importantly, he had an absolute blast snapping away as the Galaxy beat New York 5-1. The rest of us had a great time watching the game at home and looking out for sideline sightings of David (we were able to make him out three times). Below are just a sampling of his shots from the day. To say that I am proud would be an understatement.
