I wanted to share some photos from Spring Training 2001 - Alex Rodriguez had just signed a 10 year, $252 million free agent contract with the Texas Rangers - the pressure to live up to the “best player in baseball” moniker is, he says, the reason he turned to Performance Enhancing Drugs..
I spent about 20 minutes with him shooting a variety of photos - the interesting thing, to me, was his personality. I’ve photographed many famous people over the years, and for a variety of reasons, my time with Alex was memorable. Here are a few of my photographs from that day..
Yes, “We Are Ready To Believe Again” Senator (make that) PRESIDENT Obama
aka President Barak Obama
aka BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA
aka THE FORTY FOURTH

Congratulations Mr. President Elect, to both you, Vice President Elect Joe Biden, your beautiful families, and to my fellow Americans and the rest of the world..
