Antonio Margarito
I don't know who anybody is. But when someone is introduced to you as the Welterweight Champion of the World, you perk up. That's what happened to me before making this portrait of that very title holder. His name is Antonio Margarito and he's a super-cool and generous guy.
I had the pleasure of shooting him a few times in a few different settings and each time he was as cooperative and flexible as anyone I've ever shot. This particular portrait is a random pick from my collection and just happens to be in the Pictures folder of my laptop.
I pulled my hamstring this evening so I am laid up on my back with my leg elevated. I'm not making the effort to sit at my desk to find more compelling images. Healing is the priority. Good thing all I have to do tomorrow is fly to LA.
And for those of you counting, I think I posted more times than there are days this month. It's a record. I'm on a roll.
Make pictures, heal.

Healing is important, I wish I had a clue what Welterweight is...and flickr isnt currently let me view any larger of an image, but I love this image...it has a certain grittyness to it (could be the boxing gloves). This image is intersting, the light is subdued, but at the sametime not...its hard to explain...
Excellent photo, reminds me of the boxers of Times Square Gym by John Goodman. I haven't seen Antonio fight but he looks very technical here: staring you down, chin down, gloves up but ready to throw that right jab or left uppercut given the chance...
Great shots, I especially love all of your portraits.
