While shooting the men's and women's Pac-12 basketball tournaments this year, something unique happened to me. I started to get an idea on what it means to be a professional and I started to figure out what I need to do to hold myself to that standard. I, if you'll excuse my language, got my shit together. With all of this in mind I set out on transforming myself. As part of this transformation I will be posting a monthly blog that includes my best photos from month before. 21 photos on the 21st of every month. 

This month I shot seven sports. Women's (playoff) basketball, baseball, softball, track and field, and two sports I had never shot before at the Division I level: golf and lacrosse.
