About Artist

David Liam Kyle

At 70, I'm still as passionate about photography as I was four decades ago—maybe more, since I finally know what I'm doing. My journey started with small-town community papers and led to Sports Illustrated and NBA sidelines. I've been digging through the archives lately, blowing off dust and rediscovering old favorites that deserve another look. The truth is, I'm having too much fun capturing moments to put the camera down. I'll keep shooting as long as my hands are steady and the light is good. www.davidliamkyle.com
