This is a photo from Downtown Tampa during the Tampa Bay Lightning’s run in the 2015 Stanley Cup. The ride sharing service, Uber, was giving away SeatGeek credit to send riders to Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Expecting the giveaway to start in or around Downtown Tampa I used this as a chance to have a short photoshoot downtown. This photo is show outside the Glazer Children’s Museum on Ashley St in Downtown Tampa. Downtown has a number of Coast Bike Share stations where you can rent bicycles for a few hours to ride around town.

The 2015 Stanley Cup Final, commonly known as the 2015 Stanley Cup Finals, was the championship series of theNational Hockey League (NHL) 2014–15 season, and the culmination of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs. This was the 122nd year of the Stanley Cup’s presentation. The Western Conference champion Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning four games to two to win their sixth championship in franchise history, and their third title in six seasons. The Lightning, as the club with the better regular-season record, held home-ice advantage in the series. The best-of-seven series was played in a 2–2–1–1–1 format, with Tampa Bay hosting games one, two, five and seven; and Chicago hosting games three, four and six. Tyler Johnson and Patrick Kane led the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs in points scored with 23 points each.The series started June 3 and ended on June 15.

The Tampa Bay Rays hosts a Summer Concert Series to boost attendance to home games. Rays Summer Concert Series begin shortly after select homes games conclude and are FREE with the purchase of that game’s ticket. Full Season Ticket Holders who purchased all 81 games in the Home Plate Club, Hancock Bank Club, Fieldside Box, Lower Infield Box or Lower Box receive complimentary wristbands for field access to the postgame concerts or you can purchase a wristband. After the Rays played the Mariners the crew setup for a concert by Weezer. We did not purchase wristbands so we moved from our seats to ones that were lower and more centered to the stage. I brought my telephoto lens so I could capture both the game and concert after even from the cheaper seats. Weezer put on a long set lasting close to an hour. As you can see in this photo this is a full concert experience.

At the end of March I had the privilege to attend the Buccaneers Uniform Showcase where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers revealed their new uniforms to the public. Despite the unanticipated crowd, both by myself and the Buccaneers, I was able to use my telephoto lens to capture some great shots from the night. This particular photo shows running back Doug Martin modeling the new uniform.
