The Longest Odds
It started with an innocent question:
What does it really look like to train for the Olympics?
After seven years, I was finally able to answer that question.
About SHIVSPIX
Imagine, a device that lets you stop a moment in time. You can’t change time or turn it back, but with a camera you can make time stand still, capture a moment and revisit it forever.
It’s that amazement and awe that keeps me reaching for my camera(s) and has allowed me to see places, meet people, make friends, and go on journeys I could have never imagined.
Go behind the scenes and see the images of how rowers train day to day to make it on to the National and Olympic teams.
Read the stories of struggle and triumph of athletes who dared to pursue their dreams despite the longest of odds.
There’s nothing more personal than a portrait, whether it’s in front of a simple white background or doing what you love most.

The Longest Odds
Go behind the scenes of the Olympic Journey with The Longest Odds, a photo-documentary that goes inside the Beijing and London Olympic journey of the US Olympic rowing team.
This book illustrates what you do not see on television – it’s a raw look at what athletes go through during their years-long journeys much before anything appears on television.
The Longest Odds allows us to see those highs and lows, the conflicts, joy, exhaustion, elation, fear – and most of all, the bonds of friendship being indelibly forged.
