I was redoing my website and came across one of my old favorites from the summer, when I shot this amateur boxing match in New York. These were adolescents, and while some of them were quite fearless, I think the huge crowd (a warm evening on Pier 84) made a lot of them nervous. And the horrible bankers there screaming obscenities at the kids fighting probably didn't make it any better. I had some sweet press access--elbows on the ring--and their anxiety was palpable.



This was my first photo assignment for Issue 3 of Norman Einstein's Magazine.
