Being Bozeman: A Photographic Portrait


I've gone to GW for four years, and as weird as it sounds my time here is coming to an end. Come this May, I will officially be a college graduate, and if I'm being honest (because really who wants a sugarcoated blog) I'm both thrilled and scared sh**less at the same time. There is light at the end of this tunnel though, a world of possibilities and a career ahead. I look towards my peers like Ben Solomon for example, a former Hatchet photo editor and friend, for hope that YES, us kids can still make it in the field. But I digress.

What I'd really like you all to check out is my newest completed photo project on the GW Colonials' new womens basketball coach, Mike Bozeman. You can see it here:

If I had to be frank about a few things it's this: I love the womens basketball team perhaps a hundred times more than the mens. It's not that I don't find the men's team captivating, but instead I find the womens team especially interesting. No one goes to their games, and yet they play. No one really takes notice when they make it to the Sweet 16 two years in a row, and yet they play with a postive attitude and a desire to prove their worth.

This year, with a new head coach, they failed to make the tournament, but with the loss of a few seniors from last season they are sure to bounce back, or at least be a team that proves its worth. Bozeman is a very nice man, and I wish all the best to him and the womens team in the future. I hope you enjoy these photos.

Thanks for reading.
