Start of an Internship

April 26, 2017 by matt thomas

The last few weeks have been quite an adjustment. I found out that I got offered an internship with the Boston Red Sox, nearly had to drop everything in Indiana and move right to Boston before Opening Day on March 29th. This opportunity has been indescribable.

Last night's game was rained out, and it gave me the chance to go through my work from the first home stand to compile a gallery of my favorite images.

Shooting in Fenway Park is unlike anything I've done. Cubs fans will argue with me, but to me Fenway is the Cathedral of baseball. Its the most recognizable stadium with that giant green left field wall, the history that surrounds the foul poles, the red seat that stands out in deep right field. Every where you look there's a moment in Red Sox history. Two days that have stood out were Opening Day, and then Marathon Monday or Patriot's Day. For Opening Day, it was truly one of my first days in Fenway looking through the camera. I've been going to Red Sox games for the past 17 years, but now I see the stadium in a whole new light. Vantage points that I've never seen before, spots where the sun makes its way through. Its been like discovering Fenway all over again. Marathon Monday is a celebration in its own way. We will always have to remember the tragedy that happened just 4 years ago, but the day is also one of excitement. The weather is beginning to truly break, and its like a second Opening Day.

I'm still going to find new spots, and meet new people. The season is barely a month in, and there's plenty of baseball left , its been a blast so far.
