One of my most important jobs as a photographer is to create a snapshot of potentially important moments in Pittsburgh sports -- one that readers can thumb back to when they feel like revisiting a special day in sports, or just one they really enjoyed as a fan.
I got to thinking about this while looking through and editing the photos from Penguins development camp in late June when my Sunday's Best was derailed by a blockbuster move sending Phil Kessel out west to the Coyotes. Of course, I couldn't share photos of Alex D'Orio when cult hero and two-time Stanley Cup champion Kessel was dealt hours before my piece would run.
