During my time in college, any break that would allow me to return to my hometown of Oceanside, CA during the athletic season, I would also returned to my alma mater, El Camino High School, to cover their athletic events. This was my own way of giving back to my community, especially to those who believed in my sports photography from the beginning. These pictures were given to the athletic director and the athletic department, and then the athletic teams and student athletes were able to utilize these images for memories, to market themselves for their future endeavors, and for social media usage.
