Ep 19 - Reginald Thomas II

When it comes to photographing athletes and entertainers, people who treasure their private time, that trust has to be magnified. Our guest today is a sports photographer from Baltimore, Maryland. He lives his life based on the principle of personhood. Personhood centers around the concept of consciousness and the capacity to feel pain. His personhood has granted him access to document his high school basketball team which lead to him landing his first internship with the Boston Red Sox where he photographed their World Series season. His experience with the Red Sox catapulted him to team photographer of the San Antonio Spurs. He has been tasked with documenting the professional and personal lives of these athletes. A right that would not be granted to someone who is not trustworthy. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blkshutter/support
