Friend Encounters is a weekly series featuring friends meeting celebrities.
Today I feature two softball staples, who happen to be my friends. While AU Sports Director of Photography Jade Hewitt is a professional in the softball world, Tony has been a dedicated fan for more than 20 years.
I met both at a Chicago Bandits game. Jade was a photog for another team, while Tony established himself as one of the most-consistent Bandits fans.
Tony and I both are big fans of Jade's work and her in general. Jade is talented and always looking to grow the game. Her work for AU has been used on Topps sports trading cards, which Jade hands out to young fans at games. It's really heartwarming to see the excitement of the young fans. It's also cool seeing Jade hand out her work. For non-sports or memorabilia fans, having your pictures used for Topps cards is a big deal. Nobody has earned it more than Jade.
I have interviewed Jade a few times. My last is at Talking Travel with Jade Hewitt. She talks about the challenges of photographing AU, the many travels she takes and much more.
