For the last eight years I've taken pictures of the games at Hooopfest, the players, coaches and fans at Middletown Summer Hoopfest produced by Malik Pemberton and his organization !Family Inc. My goal has been to record the effort, spirit and grace played out in the games. I enjoy being a photographer for the Hoopfest tournament and plan to do it again next year. Certainly these photographs have an hstoric value and hopefully some of them attain a poetic worth.
