Last weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Providence to photograph the SUNY Oswego men's rugby team as they competed in the Beast of the East Rugby Tournament. It was an experience I won’t soon forget—not just because of the high level of competition and intensity on the field, but because of everything that came with it.

From the moment I arrived, the energy surrounding the tournament was unreal. Teams from all over came together, each bringing their own style, grit, and determination. Being on the sidelines, camera in hand, gave me a front-row seat to every tackle, every try, and every moment of pure effort and teamwork. Capturing those moments—both the big plays and the small, in-between interactions—reminded me why I love photography so much. It’s more than just taking pictures; it’s about telling a story and preserving moments that might otherwise be missed.

What made the weekend even more meaningful was the chance to spend time with my family. In the middle of a busy tournament schedule, being able to step away, laugh, and just enjoy being together made the trip that much more special. It was the perfect balance of doing something I’m passionate about while also appreciating the people who support me the most.

I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to be there, to grow as a photographer, and to be trusted to capture such an exciting event. Experiences like this are a reminder of how far I’ve come and how much more there is ahead. Truly thankful for the memories made.

In Loving Memory of Ron England

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to our dear friend and fellow member of the boxing community, Ron England.

Ron wasn’t just a fighter in the ring—he was a fighter in life. His dedication to the sport, his unwavering spirit, and the kindness he showed to everyone around him made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege to know him. Whether you were a coach, a photographer, a fan, or a fellow boxer, Ron had time for you. His presence lit up every gym and every venue he entered.

On behalf of everyone here at SouthPaw Images, we extend our deepest condolences to Ron’s family, friends, and all who loved him. We will miss his grit, his warmth, and the passion he brought to every round.

Rest easy, champ. You’ll always be in our corner.

– Martin
