Description
Nick Lawrence is a professional photographer, after years of editing at a surf magazine he decided to hone in on his true passion of portraits and was able to combine...
show moreNick has been working on a portrait essay of pick-up basketball games over the last 4-5 years that he will publish and exhibit in ‘Backyard at The Alex’ the recently renovated local watering hole in Alexandria, Sydney. The exhibition details are listed below.
Nick connected initially with co-host Jacinta at one of their favourite ‘runs’, a regular pick-up hoops gathering held at the Central Coast, and more recently joined our Shooting The Breeze game during the FIBA Women's World Cup where some of our listeners and pod guests from far and wide connected, played and hung out afterwards at a pub lunch. Some of our community with their varying backgrounds from all over the world will feature in this photographic essay and also featured in an ABC sports piece (link below).
Nick also talks about the great meritocracy that is pick-up hoops - where no one cares what you do for a living, and diversity abounds, friendships and connections are made around a true love of the game where it’s all about 'getting a ball in a hoop'.
Nick shares the places he’s travelled and the wonderful characters he’s met, often forging lasting friendships along the way.
Enjoy!
