I took this picture at the Venice Skate Park in Venice, CA. One of the things I love about sports is the camaraderie that’s forged by sharing a common interest: it goes beyond all of our differences, pointing to what bonds us together as people. In this photograph you can see Jake Familton, an extraordinary 4-year-old athlete, attentively watching fellow skateboarders as he stands next to an adult skater. At first, I thought the man was his dad or a family friend. However, Jake’s mother said the gentleman beside him was neither—he was just a fellow skateboarder. She went on to explain how the skateboarding community had been very kind and inclusive with her son. It was uplifting to hear this. There was, for me, something beautiful and profound about this simple story of human connection.
