The Start of Something Big

Last night I started something big. For the past week and a half I have been brainstorming with the intention of coming up with a story idea that I could take on over the next few weeks or months. On Saturday, March 22nd I had a breakthrough and settled on one idea. The exact direction which I am going to take the story is still up in the air, however, I can say that I now have laid the groundwork for something special.

I intend to take an in-depth look at the boxing culture in the small city of Caldwell, Idaho. More specifically I hope to visually document the lives of those who live it. It is a subject that has been done before, however, this particular story offers a variety of unique characteristics which make it somewhat special. As I understand it, boxing has a well documented history in this area complete with a cast of highly talented and passionate individuals surrounded by a variety of controversial issues between the boxers, the trainers, the cutmen, the teams and the community in which they reside.

At this time there isn't much more to say, but I intend to frequently document my progress as time goes by. This is an out take from a recent shoot at one of the clubs I will be following.
