"Baseball Buddha" is my personal project, taking a nostalgic look back at baseball and exploring its cultural, societal, and historical impacts from my perspective. This journey isn't about player stats or game outcomes but about the deeper stories and experiences that showcase integrity and character within the sport. It reflects who I am and what I value, serving as an outlet for me to express myself through writing, photography, and, of course, baseball.
The "Clicks" section is dedicated to my photography. I capture the fan experience and atmosphere at baseball games, aiming to show the essence of the game and its environment through my lens. As I learn to use my Sony A7 IV camera and edit within Lightroom, I strive to create a story through images. I love what Ansel Adams said: "You don't take a photograph, you make it."
"Ballpark Confidential" is a section that explores baseball's impact on culture, society, and history. A large focus for the foreseeable future in the "Ballpark Confidential" section will be on Pete Rose, under the topic "River Rat." He is an enigma for me, and I'm diving deep into his life, career, personality, and beliefs. Additionally, as a nostalgia buff, I love exploring players who have significantly impacted the game, which will be covered under the topic "Cooperstown Credentials." These two topics interest me the most and will be the main themes of this section.
Throughout this journey, you will see photos of my beautiful partner, Sirikit. She inspires me and pushes me to be better, always believing in me and encouraging me to do more. While she isn't the biggest baseball fan, she loves attending Dodger games with me. Sirikit delights in the vibrant, diverse crowd at Dodger Stadium and the joy of seeing families celebrate together. Her support and companionship are invaluable, and I believe everyone needs this kind of uplifting presence in their life.
