In the early parts of the 20th century, science fiction introduced the world to the concept of artificial intelligence technology, specifically AI robots.

Assuming the role behind the camera, I document various events and people for The Sidekick. Portraits of tennis players, teachers and drum majors clutter my SD card as I skim carefully to pick the perfect one. My favorites to capture are football and basketball games, the intensity and emotion frozen in a thousandth of a second at the lowest aperture.
