If you haven’t noticed, top flight athletes picking up a camera is becoming a bit of trend after former Seahawks star Marshawn Lynch has became credentialed sideline photographer for the NFL. Recently Caitlin Clark took on the role of photographer at a Los Angeles Lakers vs Indiana Pacers game and came away with some amazing images.
