Every shot tells a story, from pregame nerves to the final whistle.

I photograph Texas High School sports so families have something real to keep...not screenshots, not AI art, but moments worthy of being hung in your home.

Looking at field markings alone (Easy red flags):
- At 00:32, what happened to the 20 yard line?
- At 00:33, what in tarnation is happening between the 10 yard line and the endzone?
- At 00:35, the endzone itself, what language is that?
- At 1:06, what happened between the 40 and 50 yard lines? 🤣
- At 1:10, that 10 yard line is 11?

NEW: Football recruits are figuring out how to use AI to fabricate FAKE highlight plays.

All these plays were generated by artificial intelligence.

This will completely SHAKE up the football world 🤯

I'm not a talking head, a recruiter, an analytics guy, legacy media, or pushing any advertising...but what I do offer are photos of exceptional athletes. Photos which family & friends can hang in their homes, keep in their wallet, or share with others. 💪🎯
