Billy Henderson

Legendary Clarke Central High School football coach Billy Henderson works out at the YMCA in Athens, Ga., on Wednesday, September 9, 2009. Henderson is recovering from a compound spinal fracture he suffered several years ago and says he is learning to walk again.


Playing catch up here on a slow morning.....

I was asked a few weeks back to photograph former high school football coach Billy Henderson while he continues to rehab from back surgery from an injury over a year ago. He was being honored at Clarke Central high school that night.





Shooting in the YMCA made for an interesting challenge as its a weight room and he moves fast. Its trying to make this into an interesting photo that becomes the challenge. I love a good mirror shot and with the symmetry it was really nice.




The grimace shot i think really tells the story.

I think the biggest shortcoming in some of the work I'm doing is not giving it enough time. This could easily be expanded on, but as usual, the editors want it for tomorrow's daily.
