In September 2009 I was invited on a scholarship to take part in the David Turnley Photography Workshops. I was assigned to photograph at the famous West 4th Street courts in Manhattan’s west village. There I met dedicated ballers of diverse personalities who played their hearts out daily and New Yorkers and tourists alike, who on their way somewhere who would stop to watch a few minutes, or a full game.
