I photographed the state tennis championships in Springfield this weekend. It worked out well since I was in town for Missouri State’s homecoming and alumni association meetings, so I got a chance to photograph a new sport.
It’s not really new to me, but the last time I photographed tennis was in high school. Nonetheless, I feel the results turned out pretty well.
