Rob Tringali is a New York based photographer who has been shooting athletes and sporting events for editorial and commercial clients for over 20 years. Last year he shot his 21st Super Bowl in a row, 16th World Series and his 6th Olympic games. He tells us, ” The Winter Olympics in Vancouver was the highlight of my year culminating in an epic gold medal game game between USA and Canada with the Canadians winning in overtime. Although I shoot many marquee events, what I strive for most, is finding that unique angle or moment that is truly different than anyone else. Sometimes it’s not that easy when shooting with a hundred other photographers, but with some planning, fortitude and a little bit of luck, I was able to achieve some pretty good frames from this year.” To see more of Tringali’s work click here.

Dia de los Muertos, (Day of the Dead) is a tradition that celebrates life and encourages human contact with the dead. In the Oaxacan region of Mexico, every town has its unique rituals. My intention with these images is to highlight the warmth and communal sensibility of the holiday. Children and grownups dress up, gathering in the cemeteries to be close to their beloved family members who have passed. Music and dance highlight the festivities, particularly at comparsas which are carnival type processions that travel to every home in a town and often last until the wee hours of the morning. – Maya Joseph-Goteiner
