Did you know?

This photograph was shot off the artist’s television using a mid-nineteenth-century photographic process, the tintype.

Description

The image shows All-Star Jason Giambi and outfielder Nick Swisher celebrating a season-saving win. Taken with equipment that imposes slow and deliberate picture making, Soren’s action shots accept the blemishes of accident and chance rather than seeking perfection and clarity. This admission of a lack of total control is a metaphor for the vagaries of baseball.
