After 50 Years Of Shooting Hockey, Bruce Bennett Finds An Even Tougher Challenge: Birds

After 50 Years Of Shooting Hockey, Bruce Bennett Finds An Even Tougher Challenge: Birds

If you're curious about what hockey photographers do during the offseason, there's no one better to ask than Bruce Bennett. He is the world's most prolific hockey photographer and the head of Getty Images' hockey imagery division. In his 50-plus-year career, he's shot more than 5,300 NHL games, six Winter Olympics (with a seventh upcoming in Milan), and more than 40 Stanley Cup Finals. 

The first thing Bennett does to recover from the grind-it-out pace he maintains during the season, from training camps to the draft, is decompress. "No texts, no emails, no phone calls. I just want to be in my own head for a bit," Bennett says.

Rap Music Yearns For The Good Ole Days

Rap Music Yearns For The Good Ole Days

Welcome to Listening Habits, a column where I share the music I’ve been fixated on recently.

A Futuristic Summa, the latest project from Metro Boomin, is a lot more fun to think about than listen to. The 24-track double LP is a love letter to a specific period in music, in mixtapes, and in Atlanta. Period known as the "futuristic era" was a sub-movement within Southern hip hop whose most prominent avatars were the "black boy swag, white boy tags" pioneer Young Dro, and the partying, girl-chasing boy groups Rich Kidz and Travis Porter. Dro was my favorite of the bunch, one because he was the best at actually rapping and could come up with more inventive colorways than Nike or Crayola, and two because the strip club anthem "All The Money" might as well have gone diamond at Tallahassee night clubs.
