Sports Photography lost a true legend on January 11, 2026 when former Sports Illustrated photographer Peter Read Miller died. Here is my story of how I met Peter, how he became my mentor, and later, my dear friend. Hundreds of shooters have benefitted from Peter's free advice, tips given at games, talks he gave for Canon USA, and through his many workshops that he offered.
